Reason #567 Not To Read Bleacher Report

Old soldiers….

Never die….

They….

Just….

Fade…..away.

and I don’t think there was a safety. At any rate, does it matter that your punter missed a PAT in a spring game two years ago? Not so much.

On a side note, that box score really exists no where that I can find.

I looked it up. Fera didn’t have a kick attempt, let alone a miss.

It notes Josh Matzkin missed a PAT. Fera and Matzkin both wore #30, so let’s call that mistaken identity and Fera did miss one.

But that’s all he missed. He didn’t miss two, and he didn’t miss a field goal (nor did Matzkin) according to the boxscore.

I guess some people like to get a jump and start cheering on Thursday. These poor people are just confused now not knowing who they are cheering for.

b****!

kicker in the early 90’s who had a lot of hype coming onto campus. Scott Bentley was supposed to be Florida State’s savior in those close games they always lost against Miami. I think he was even on the cover of SI’s college football preview one of those years.

I don’t remember copious amounts of hype involving Fera, though.

People on this site have been drooling to get Fera into games, and are kind of pissed he hasn’t so far. “Fera has a cannon of a leg!”, “Fera could have hit that FG!” Sure, it’s not 5* level hype, but you can’t deny there has been extreme demand for him on BSD when we’ve had nothing to go on but a video of him kicking 50+ yarders with no pressure at his HS.

that counts as a “deposit” in the relation ship “bank” in your favor.

partial, no full lobotomy.

And treated like a real media organization. The crappy QB write up is on the top of my yahoo sports tab.

so the one sentence paragraphs are entirely on purpose.

I suppose I could get used to writing this way.

It’s like everything is a bullet point.

they sent me an email asking me if I wanted to write.

Now, I understand football. But I could never express it the way the writers here do. BR had no way of knowing this. They just decided “someone registered here so let’s let them write.”

if you have time to waste

Gould backing up Kimball. Wasn’t it the other way around?

I dont think anything irritates me more then when people say that JoePa is a figurehead coach. if he was a figurehead, why does anyone care if hes retiring? Essentially he retired a long time ago, if all he does is show up and look the part.

My law firm has a partner who is easily 137 years old. He comes in around1030, eats lunch, talks to some bigwigs hes made friends with over the years on the phone, signs a few checks and leaves around 3. In the summer, hes here no more 2 or 3 days a week and in the winter he travels to florida for weeks on end to escape the cold.

That is the perfect example of a figurehead. JoePa, on the other hand, is there everyday. ehs scheming, hes planning, hes running practices. Hes injuring himself showing people onside kicks. Does he wear a headset during games, no. Does he need to, no. Not only did he coach for 35 years before headsets were even used, but Big Red is never more then 2 feet away from him during the games, and he wears a headset.

Drives me nuts. Lane Kiffin is more of a figurehead coach then Joe.

there is a clear difference between NYT articles and those put out by Bodani, which often don’t even qualify as complete sentences. BR is riding a sketchy line between the two.

Paragraphs on websites (especially long ones) can be hard to read and hurt the eyes, so throwing them in every now and then is alright by me. It breaks things up a little bit and adds some emphasis. Though, making every sentence its own paragraph is an assault on the eyes in an entirely different way.

Didn’t see anything on that… just saw he was out for the week and he’ll make a “relatively quick recovery”. Surgery? Doubtful.

and start making greasy hamburgers

He said “last spring”, which I took to mean, like, this past spring. He should have been clearer if he meant the 2009 game.

And even so, he claims Fera missed two PAT and a FG. At best he missed one PAT. The box score which I linked above credited a missed PAT to Pat Metzkin, who was a backup linebacker that shared the same number as Fera. I honestly don’t really recall, so let’s call that a mixup and credit it to Fera, but there is no other record of Fera or Metzkin missing a second PAT or FG.

And even still, so a true freshman that enrolled at PSU in January missed his first kick in the spring game. He was probably a little bit nervous, and that was a year and a half ago. But BR has determined he’s a failure. Whatever.

I mean hear, hear! LOL!
