Mike Lindsley is reporting the MCW "story"

[Toga]

Looking forward to the first time Lindsley asks a JB a question during a presser.

I guess continuing to spread rumors. Not really detrimental I suppose, but certainly doesn't help. That's all I'm saying.

What's with the attitude?

 

[Noexcuse]

Once the bell has rung it can't be unrung what a POS this Mike Lindsley is. .

What's brown and sounds like a bell?

Mike Lindsley (DUNG!)

What type of radio guy is this Lindsley clown? The Mike Greenberg schtick where he is self-deprecating, plays I am not a tough guy routine speaks to his audience on a level playing field, the Colin Cowherd schtick talks out of his ass like he is an expert, talks down to his audience, or the Jim Rome schtick I am going to behave like a Frat Boy on the radio routine.

Go to the 1:32 mark. That is the look Lindsley will get.

I heard mcw held lord at gunpoint while Taylor pleaded with him to take anything, just dont hurt lord...so... It wasn't stealing... He was just taking up an offer. HUGE misunderstanding.

no attitude intended, I was just defending what I think is CuseFanAtl's useful - or at least harmless - contribution

i pretty blatantly called it my theory...

ha... i may not even agree with it being a useful contribution (although i do think my THEORY is plausible)... but it CERTAINLY is harmless.

 

[br801]

how the fck is what ATL writes on this message board "detrimental to the team?"

I'm not sure it's detrimental, but apparently some of today's media hacks use message board speculation to source their reporting. Therein lies the problem.

Wow 5 pages in a new thread today 14 pages yesterday and still no new or actual information. Hmmmmm . . . . . . . . . . . . .

HUH? If your "theory" is wrong, that is spreading a rumor. How is it not?

I think this is the girl who confirmed it on Twitter. At last, an explanation:

 

[Jake]

This is why we need to nuke threads about this BS if unsubstantiated. All we do is create an online echo chamber that impacts search results and other crap.

There is no way a guy like ML is going to sit on this and go through proper journalistic protocols - that's not his gig.

Oh, and there is this:

@Zonacats1 @CBSSports Seems as such. He was with a "group" (maybe one takes the fall) including, an unidentified Syracuse football player.

**BREAKING** #Syracuse star Michael Carter-Williams picked up by Lord and Taylor loss prevention for shoplifting.http://instagr.am/p/TDpoVHIzWC/

Nuking this thread would have stopped nothing. The photo was tweeted to Lindsey directly. What he does with it is up to him.

I hope to think the burden of proof is a tad higher at his radio station than this message board.

HUH? If your "theory" is wrong, that is spreading a rumor. How is it not?

a theory is an educated guess based on the information given correct?

the information i used:

he was detained, but not arrested
he called it a misunderstanding
he has a friend with the last name christmas
its december and lord and taylor most certainly has christmas decorations up
i was detained for 'stealing' free samples of colgne once

spreading rumors is calling something a fact like MCW was arrested for shoplifting (which i clearly did not say or do). i gave a plausible reason for MCW to be detained and let go without further incident all while prefacing it as my theory.

i think that's a hypothesis.

Is everyone in a bad mood today? You would think it was a gloomy Monday in upstate NY or something.

Yeah it is.

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

ah. maybe you're right.
