Is there a writer that you just despise?

Chip just drives me insane. I've never read an article that didn't have AT LEAST 1 grammatical error. I'd think if your paid to put something out to the public maybe it deserves going over once at least before it's put out. N for a guy that I'm sure didn't play any type of school fb, he certainly thinks he knows the game inside and out. I love all ppl that have anything to do with DAWGNATION and UGA in general but his opinion on things has literally zero value to me, and that's what most of his writing consists of. I just can't see how he gets a check. But jmo

His dad was a FB coach of some repute and I think Chip was coached by him in like Pop Warner or something. He did mention it in one of his shows. I think he has studied FB closely via his dad and probably knows a good bit more than some think he does.

Having to write about, I'd like to believe that. I'm not bashing the guy, just sick of seeing mistaken names and stuff of that sort. I mean Bacarri is helping us coach now, but how can the picture on the article of a topic name a guy that coaches for us when a sophomore was who he was thinking of? It is is SO many articles.. That's just a lazy error. Going over that once after writing it would have prevented it. I know my boss wants me to be thorough and do things correctly. Is this any different?

I will say that it's possible that it was the proofreader's error. I've written, edited, and proofread, and much to my chagrin, mistakes do get through somehow. They shouldn't, but it happens.

And it seems to happen a LOT. Not only on Chip's articles. I wonder if they hire proofreaders...if they do, they need to be better at it. I mean, it's not all that hard. Even the state department is working on making their writing better as far as the use of commas goes. If Washington can do it, I know Dawg Nation can.

Non Dawgnation related: I’ve never really liked Stewart Mandel. Used to write for SI.com and now I think for the Athletic. Has never really given the Dawgs much respect and had an infamous comment some years back where he said that UGA wasn’t a household name because a random guy in Montana wouldn’t recognize the logo/gear.

Believe I read that also about his dad

I'm pretty sure they do NOT have dedicated proofreaders. When the journalism business started dying editors and support staff were the first to go. To be fair it goes way beyond Dawgnation: I read articles from national publications with lots of mistakes..It also doesn't help that every reporter of every genre feels the need to get stories up ASAP.

I see it all the time now...whether it's a major paper, a local paper, or blogs. And you're right about proofreaders etc. They were the first to go.

I often joked after writing that I needed a profreader.

Off topic but how bout Colquitt county giving it to Greyson IN Loganville!? Probst is a **** good football coach. That defensive tackle for CC Merrit is reaking havoc against a massive O line for high school standards. 4 of 5 guys on that Oline have power 5 offers. Haven't heard or seen much out of Pappoe. The Packers are very very physical and play assignment football. Nyquan Washington is a junior 5'10 corner with some D1 offers and he's shut down the 6'5 stud receiver for the Rams. Several deflections and a pick. 26-14 in the 4th. I wanna see the backup qb for Greyson because we've offered him.

He’s not much of a writer, but I can’t stand Cowherd any more.

It’s really hard to take your opinion on Chip’s grammatical mistakes seriously when you repeatedly misspell words and use the incorrect form of your/you’re and there/their/they’re.

Wanna tell me where you see that smartass? There is a place, their is people. Your, something belonging to; you're, you are a dumb ass. Any other **** remarks?

Once again my bachelors is not in journalism like the people paid to do it. But I corrected myself in the next msg clarifying there and you're. Like your pal I just didn't read my post twice before I sent it. Anything else?
