You are entitled to your opinion, but he has stated on twitter something to the effect of why pay for info when you can get it on my site for free. All the while paying himself for the info and pirating it for his own gain and sponsors (which is money). It is called unethical and unprofessional.
And coaches are out there smearing other coaches along the recruiting trail. And kids be killing kids. Life, liberty and the pursuit of all these things. Twitter beef? Really...
Why pay for stuff that's going to be available free soon. My wife is a free lance writer ( sports & travel) and they stuff is stolen all the time. Costs to much to fight, hard to track, not a lot of money in writing to begin with. They used to get paid everytime it showed up, now they get paid one time and others grab it and post all over the internet.
FWIW, I've posted articles on these boards. I always credit the source, and I never post articles from a site where the info was paid for - only from free websites - so it's available to anyone for free.
I was mistaken; what I should've said is that I (usually) post links to articles (though more infrequently I have posted the article). If anyone follows the link, the newspaper, and the advertiser, should both benefit.
That's pretty sweet.. I called MM one time, early 2000s, said I thought it was good for the steelers that Ray lewis might go to jail, help us win 2 more games. He told me that I was a scumbag and hoped I went outside, slipped on ice, cracked my head open and died.. I was like, OK Mark, thanks for taking my call.
He's allowed to do that (it's in his contract), because he's a super-genius.
