Would something as allegedly innocuous as a misreporting based on a source lead to a lawsuit? I don’t think we see a lot of those flying around when someone’s sources are innocently inaccurate
He stole the card at ND..and was shown the door, which is what led to his transfer to OSU.
I'm expecting a pretty good year for the team, so feel extra responsibility to stay focused on pointless arguments, excessive definitive proclamations, and deliberately avoiding any subject matter directly tied to the original post. Mental toughness is incredibly important.
Read Doug's reflection on his actions, Gottlieb: The mistakes I made, and the price I paid - The Athletic
Great piece, appreciated Gottlieb's candor and sense of humility. Really love to celebrate comeback stories, unsure whether I can celebrate Gottlieb. Given his history of reckless journalistic half-baked takes its generally difficult to empathize with him. Gottlieb though is not the only broadcast analyst shilling questionable takes, on and off the air, he's simply a member of a very distinct club.
Poor effort. Where did I say he did something wrong. I'll make it easy for you and copy my post:
That’s a “reflection”? Lol he called himself a thief, said he (rightfully) felt like a loser, and went over how it all worked out in the end.
This is now kinda hard for me to believe after seeing his admitted college percentages, namely 46% from the line lol I think that was the one truly humbled part of his article.
It's hard to believe he'd be the best player in a men's league in Canton CT? I think there was one other former D1 player (low level) who was about 40 years old and maybe 2-3 former D3 players, everyone else topped out in HS in places like Avon, Simsbury and Burlington.
46% from the line is 46% from the line lol but hey if your league was that horrific what can I say
Gottlieb led the country in assists his junior and senior year of college and helped take Okie State to the Elite 8. The guy could play and obviously would be way better than a bunch of 40+ year olds in a local Connecticut league.
So he passed the ball and his team mates hit shots
The standard absolutely should be being 100% right all the time. Occasionally someone might not meet that standard and they should be criticized for it. Sacrificing accuracy in the rush to be first with the story is a relatively recent thing and has eroded the standing of journalists.
Yeah that’s just flat out the wrong. Journalists used to use multiple sources to validate the facts that they report. Watergate is a great example and that they didn’t go with that story until they were sure. In the event that they aren’t 100% sure they can either wait and do more digging or state that they have uncorroborated reports of an allegation. Even that is risky, but at least it’s honest. Reporting alligation as fact is a relatively recent occurrence.
Aren’t you the one who is actually defending someone who wasn’t truthful? I do agree with the rest of your post. For many it seems, truth and accuracy is less important than a validation of a pre-existing opinion of someone either being “good“ or “bad“ and it absolutely is driving the country over a cliff.
I just don’t get why the dope couldn’t say something like “rumblings of tension between player and agent; difficulties with contract negotiations” rather than making definitive statements.
He also has this huge red-pill aspect of his persona, like a Diet Clay Travis
This is the only instance that I know of any tv guy recommending that a player transfer out of a program or decommit from a program. And there have been programs in a hell of lot more trouble than we were at the time.
He also told a kid not to commit to a HBCU and then in conversation implied that HBCU alums weren't highly thought of in real world.
