    My God you guys are thinned skinned. It's a figure of speech and newspapers love headlines that are plays on words.

    Yeah, you're right. Just a cute, funny little play on words about a teenager having his knee tore up. Lemme guess, you thought the "chink in the armor" thing was perfectly acceptable, too?

    You're wrong. I work in newspapers.

    Our job isn't to be "cutesie" with headlines. What the Freep did was completely disrespectful and classless. A kid was literally still crying in a locker room when the Freep posted that. FUCK them.

    Really? Then why does it happen in nearly every paper, every day?

  • I hate those assholes.

    Yeah, I dont' see a problem with "Splitting headache" when Dale Ernhart hit the wall. Or, "Permanent Knock Out" if a boxer dies in the ring. I mean, come on, cute, funny. WTF?

    There's a line. When adults have time to think of something, and they still put it out there, it's foolish. Hey, if you don't like it, I understand, just don't buy the freep. It's a free country.

    If it was cute and funny, then the guy who did it, shouldn't have retracted it. He should have just said "screw you" it's funny, I'm going with it. He should have had some balls.

    I called, got transferred to the "web" sports guy apparently named "Anthony" -- he said he wasn't thinking.

    Yeah, you think?

    He gave me the sports@freepress.com address to e-mail to complain. Which I plan to do.

    Is it possible that Anthony is the d bag who has been writing all those extra crappy MSU headlines over the years?

    Your comparisons are absurd. Knee injury does not equal death.

    Listen, you're upset. So am I. This is a blow to the season, but Dawson's career isn't over.

    You draw your line where you want. Kids career is stopped for who knows how long. He probably doesn't think it's cute. Like I say the writer has no balls. Should have kept it then. Just like you have no balls. You draw your line where you desire and say "this is cute up to this point, no more than that". Kiss my ass. Your going to decide for us what we should find "cute" up to a certain point? Neg vote me again moron

    And the real faggotts then draw an arbitrary line on where it stops being funny. Agreed

  • Tasteless.

    Don't bother though, sending a message to the Free Press. Only gets a reaction from them.

    Wanna get them in the spotlight over this tastelessness though? Forward it on to some of the national media guys and point out WHY its tasteless. Maybe one of those talking heads will pick it up and put the pressure on them.

  • Don't buy the paper. Don't click the link. Don't visit the site. That's about all you can do. They aren't going to change.

    Anyone. Anyplace. Anytime.

  • I may have located "Anthony" from the Freep. A CMU grad... And since it looks like he may have recently attended that fine institution, the second link of someone with the exact same name who could be around the same age, may or may not be him.

    Your two links are two totally seperate people, but way to really try to dig and reach. Nice job.
