Ok, maybe so. Anyway I’m not going to get into it over this subject. The only way to control it would be to give the Nazi’s even more power. And I’m damn sure not comfortable with that! In fact I’m totally pissed of with this countrys’ obsession during the past 30 years of thinking the remedy to every damn problem is to pass another law, regulation or ordinance; thereby giving the government more and more control. The damn place is fast becoming a facist police state! Actually a good case of vigilantyism would straighten out a lot more shit than more stinking police with more invasive power!

Speaking of that standard. This blog/site has a pic of the capstone and it says “News and commentary on Alabama athletics” …..Does that mean this is the “Official” stance of the University ? I wouldnt think so, but since the “Capstone” is on it. then it must be.

Look ………I said he has an Auburn slant. So What !! Ive read many Bama biased articles printed in the Bham news and other papers. And you know what, thats O.K. Whoop-a-dee-doo…..Im not splitting hairs, Im making an observation.

Egg….He is most definantly making personal observations. And guess what ? Im O.K. with that too. Just cause I say something about it doesnt mean I wont sleep tonight.

I just dont get the double standard. Cap loves to quote friggin Finebaum of all people as a bona fide journalist when he is bitching about Auburn (You know the arguement about Tubbs accusing Saban of cheating, wich I may not even disagree with that, its just the fact no one could quote Tommy)….But phillip Marshall is just pro Auiburn, and its like he pissed on the Denny Chimes, and took a dump on the walk of champions…. I just dont really get it.

Why thank you Ballplay! That’s the same way I feel about me! But as far as what you’re saying to Cap, it’s outta line. He’s not making personal accusations. He’s repeating what CNS and CSS and several other reputable coaches are saying. Are you calling them liers? I mean who you gonna believe, a bunch of HIGHLY REPUTABLE (tongue in cheek) reporters, or the coaches? (Excluding Pat Dye or Lane Kiffen of course!) RTR!

And it depends on what your definition of “sex” is… blah blah blah.
Same old tired excuses for answers. Ssadly, it didnt work for lick Wilie and it wont work for you either. so what if Cappy links you to the information you want …what then…. More hairsplitting?

Ballplay,
Now sit down… and try to comprehend this…
Phillip Marshall is biased. Period.

If you cant read HIS BOOK “The auburn Experience” and come up with that conclusion, you need to go back to school and sue them for shortchanging you on your education.
Man, I am not trying to bag on you. But the man works or a Website that is FOR AUBURN FANS. Cant you connect the dots here?

It doesn’t have to be bias against Alabama to matter. Marshall’s stuff I linked to in the past were like propaganda pieces.

The problem is journalistic integrity. When anyone pretends to be unbiased, it injures the entire media structure. In fairness to Marshall, I’ve not really written much about him since he is working for an obviously biased Auburn site. When he worked for a major Alabama newspaper, it was a different story.

The only times I’ve commented on Marshall was when he was doing something really interesting (like this column against Nick Saban).

Again……..What specificly did he say about Alabama to get all of your panties in a wad ? Is it not O.K. to be an Auburn slanted journalist as long as you dont slander other teams ? You guys act like you get no good P.R. stories from any other journalsists. What gives.

Again, how has he been slandering Bama ? If you cant produce a specific and obvious case, then you are blasting a man for an opinion. Definantly NOT anything wrong with it. If he did, then he is in the wrong and should be dealt with.

Phillip has always been biased toward Auburn. He spent years trying to get people to buy his book “The Auburn Experience”. Because it made him money and it glorified Auburn at the same time.
And it does not take long to see through to Phillip Marshall and his agenda. He will say almost anything to stay in the good graces of the “Auburn Family”. (aka… the Auburn PR machine in his case.)
Why?
Because it keeps him in the know (sorry about that ITK) and keeps the doors wide open for him. (He is the journalistic Jimmy Raines.)

Take Evan Woodberry on the other hand. He is very fair about reporting the good and bad at Auburn and he is cursed for it. (I dont know if he is very welcomed when they have thier little get togethers and “family” bar-b-ques in Lee County.) But at least I can read a piece by him and know that he is just giving the news. And that is something Phillip Marshall cant claim. He gave up on being a journalist years ago to be an Auburn mouthpiece. And if he gets offended when someone calls him or his website out for it… Well sorry there, Phil….But if you tell enough lies and show enough bias your credibility suffers. You being a college grad should know that by now.

I was joking about Shane. But, Im sure I could name some biased media slanted the bama way. Surley you can admit that they are out there. If you cant……well. Anyhow, what EXACTLY did Marshall do that was so bad ? Yes he is Auburn tilted. But so what. He doesnt go out of his way to spin negativity toward Tuscaloosa, does he ?

Sanctions toward writing positive things about a program is absurd. No matter who the program is. Slanderous accusations are altogether different. In cases like that, the NCAA does NOT have to get involved. There are already laws in the books for that kind of thing.

So what gives ?

Why the outrage ?
