Cool story bro.

Jesus, he's insufferable.

So much anger for pretty much one of the two best places for actual information on the Cubs.

Some folks just can't handle a zero-to-sixty person.

I'd hate to see Huey reading a Matthew Berry article.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

So anger = anything that's not complimentary?

Sheesh, Pen--you'd think I criticized the love child of Peter King and Bill Simmons.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I think Jay Glazer is a total douchey bro asshole but he's the best at breaking NFL news. Brett got a lot of mileage out of being better than Yellon but that's a low bar to clear and regardless of how good he writes he's annoying as it gets.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

It was two short paragraphs at the top of a bunch of info on the Cubs - I don't really care.

FWIW, I totally support Sterling's "cool story bro" here.  Totally appropriate use of the meme.
It's the "Jesus, he's insufferable" that felt a little over the top, even considering the angerangeranger source. 
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

This is quite possibly the biggest pile of sanctimonious horseshit I've read since the last time I read something by Rick Telander.

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/20150128_Seahawks__Lynch_makes_a_mockery_of_Media_Day.html

There's lots of badness here, but I think this may be my favorite:

QuoteHis teammates' defense of him is understandable; to them, Lynch is loyal in the locker room and ferocious on the field, fully worthy of his "Beast Mode" nickname.

Also, consider their general profile: These largely are very young men whose talent has afforded them shelter and structure most of their lives. They are people for whom "hard work" equates to lifting weights and running sprints; for whom "commitment" means adhering to a loose daily schedule that tells them when to wake, when to eat, when to think; for whom "adversity" means being .500 midway through a season and somehow making the playoffs.

They know little of the real world and its gravity.

These layabouts will never know the hard work that comes from typing on a keyboard to meet a deadline for a sports section.

QuoteEver self-serving, Lynch was thrown a bag of Skittles candy, with whom he has an endorsement deal.

What has this world come to?

QuoteIf he is allowed to act this way, nothing would prevent other players - all players - from acting this way.

Probably best to have him killed.

QuoteIt was the height of hypocrisy. Lynch was afforded a priceless, 5-minute ad for Skittles and New Era caps.

No hypocrisy higher.
