Message: [QUOTE="HughWotmate, post: 1717697, member: 5740"] The guy is a massive wet blanket. I don't need him to cheerlead or be biased in favor of SU, but for **k's sake, stop looking for every negative angle in a story. He's Eeyore personified. He could be writing about a player being named MVP of the league and still have to mention the [I]one game[/I] where that player played poorly, or some other transgression. His idea of being fair and balanced is to constantly counteract good news with a reminder of the bad. Also, is he a reporter or a columnist? Because he seems to inject his opinion into everything he writes. I can always tell who wrote an article over there, without even looking at the byline. Waters and Ditota are a bit interchangeable at times, but Carlson is always the turd in the punch bowl. I'm not going to link his article (refuse to reward him with clicks), but the latest downer was about the families of players not being able to afford to travel to all the tournament games. Look, I understand the current, popular "destroy the NCAA" narrative, and that's kind of where he was going, but again, during a time of joy and celebration, Carlson is looking to p*ss all over the parade. Here's just one portion that peers into his mindset... It's like he was hoping to go Barbara Walters in the post-game locker room and get DaJuan to cry about his family not being there. Why is this necessary right now? Add in that post-game locker room ambush he did on Kaleb Joseph in the ACC tourney loss to Pitt, and I [I]just can't[/I] with this dude. Again, he doesn't need to spit-shine Cuse athletics, but the negativity and the baiting is too much. They have more than enough trolls over on the P-S website comment section, I'm not sure why they felt the need to hire one as a sports reporter. [/QUOTE]
