Goodman at it again

Status
Not open for further replies.
Goodman always struck me more as a guy that should be covering the Haverill / Dracut game than college basketball for a national publication. He just seems like a small time guy that by some miracle ended up with ESPN in his byline. The gap between him and some of the more reputable college basketball writers is enormous, both in terms of the quality of his work and his professionalism. I assumed some of his UConn trolling came from his loyalty to the Tilton guys but that's not really based on anything other than my own speculation.

The thing that's great about twitter is that it provides fans a means to interact with these writers. The downside is that guys like Goodman can't separate their hacky nature from their jobs and end up becoming glorified trolls.
 
Its funny but for some reason every time someone is talking or writing nonsense about Uconn i get a picture in my head of this person talking and suddenly there is a hand with 4 rings on it rising slowly in front of them and as it gets higher they start speaking faster and faster with sweat beading up on their forehead then suddenly the hand just turns and back slaps them across the mouth. In other words

"FOUR RINGS B1TCH! SLOW YOUR ROLE"

At first glance, I thought this was a Harry Potter reference or something.

I don't know why UConn fans bother with this A-wipe. It's just a matter of time when ESPN realizes what a complete idiot this guy is and once he's fired from that gig he'll vanish into oblivion. All this crap is going to catch up with him sooner or later. I don't know what vendetta he has against UConn, but he's never going to stop. If KO winning the NC after all Goodman's comments this past season can't stop him from making a fool of himself, I don't know what will. After KO wins NC #2 at UConn, Goodman will still find something to criticize our program.

What just boggles my mind is how anyone could invalidate or depreciate what KO did this past season. No one in their right mind would look at last season's roster and say, "Yeah, that team is going to win it all!" What KO did with a roster that was hampered in recruiting the prior few years, is nothing short of remarkable. Now don't get me wrong! There were some talented players on the team, but KO coached every ounce of talent out of that group and beat team after team that the talking heads said would squash UConn like a bug. Many had them losing to SJs, but from that game on UConn was the underdog and kicked each fave to the curb, one after the other. How anyone could not give KO huge props for what he did is beyond me.

What a moron!

It's a cheap shot anyway, but if HFD is going to take it, at least spell "stutter" correctly.

My friend, that is all part the HFD charm. He's an original. Count me another who'd love to have him back on the board.
 
This dude literally hates on us all the time because he did not like Calhoun? There's got to be more to it than that right??

Can the boneyard's filter block the word Goodman from being posted on here? Clearly he is one of the worst so why still talk about him? If we collectively ignore this moron, on here and on twitter, maybe he will just go away.

I must admit that saying Ollie won with all of Calhoun's recruits was one of the funniest things I have heard in a while.

Goodman on twitter comparing UCONN fan base to NC state. Also says Ollie needs to win with his own recruits.

I personally can't wait for Ollie to make this dude eat crow....

all we do is win!!
Expand ...

Ollie has already made him eat crow; he's too stupid to realize it To compare a relatively Mickey Mouse ACC program to an entire state shows such a degree of ignorance one has to wonder who ties this guys shoes in the morning.
 
Does he realise Ollie recruited half the team as an assistant? Like Daniels never even met JC before committing ? (Or is that a myth?)

Freaking moron.

EDIT: in case anyone is confused that was his reaction when Calhoun retired. That UConn had low talent level left for Ollie
Expand ...

Wow so he truly is a professional troll. Why does he get work? He looks like a gnome who won a makeover from Oprah, and he's consistently wrong about everything, even so far as to contradict himself this easily
 
Don't worry, this guy will probably follow the long lines of distinguished ESPiN "reporters" who chase their dreams to cover Hollywood celebrity gossip so that they can get 5 second appearances in various B-movies.

You hatin' on the Hillies?

But I'm surprised Goodman had UConn so wrong since he knows what being at a low talent level is like.

Point ...

There are MANY media members that are in this club (and I think they gang together at times). Jim Calhoun rubbed them very raw ... maybe for good reason ... and they spend too much time angling back into a negative focus on UConn basketball (suspicions of a white sheeted cabal of writers would include Wetzel, Wodjnarowski, Abraham, Les Carpenter, Parrish, Doyel, yuck)

Kevin Ollie's charm and overall goodness has turned them on their ear. Many are so sucked into the Calipari or Pitino tent that they can't see broadly.
 
Amazingly, he didn't respond to my tweet asking how the 2nd best team in New England won the national championship.

Oh well, I'll live.
 
I posted this recently but I'll post it again for a good laugh. This is Goodman's article when Ollie was hired. Don't worry, you can click on it since he was working for CBSSports.com then. In hindsight this is pretty funny how wrong he was. The junior varsity? Hah, that same team plus a couple of small added pieces won a national championship!

I find his garbage kind of entertaining (see your last line there). As long as I don't have to click to be entertained, I'm cool with it.

I would guess that's a myth. At the same time, he didn't actually see the campus prior to committing, so you never know.

Would love someone on twitter to hound him for a comment on this colossal turd of an article.

Gregg Doyel's comment is interesting also. I guess that's why he's making a sportswriter salary instead of making big bucks picking the right stocks to buy!

oh he's been asked about it, he's sidestepping it though. I would love to see a media member call him out on it.
