I’m linking to my dad’s Saturday column. He drove down to Santa Clara with me this morning and he wrote on A.J. Jenkins’ decision to skip graduation and participate in the Niners rookie mini camp. I thought you’d find the column interesting. To read it, click here.

Maybe it would be better if you left your father out of your blog. If I wanted to read him I would click the top of the page and read what he had to say. I made the mistake of clicking and then reading. Once again a diatribe that did nothing to add insight into the team, but did do something to nauseate me with his constant anti everything. Why don’t you stand on your own two feet and update your blog yourself instead of copying things off of the 9ers web site and your fathers post. Somewhere along the way you have to grow up and be a man. Do your own homework and your own posting. Has your father ever had anything good to say about anyone or is controversy and derogatory statements what he has always lived by? Sorry Grant, but I also can express my feelings and opinion.
I have the distinct feeling that mavin 1 never met his father.
Good one, Grant (a.k.a., mrsclemons67).
You really need to read the blog for more than a day to make that comment.
msc has been here longer than Grant.
I agree.
Mavin 1 hit the nail on the head. Grant Cohn is a little boy. A daddy’s boy and doesn’t have an original thought of his own. After reading daddy’s article I now see that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in this case. Neither Grant nor Lowell has anything interesting to say. They are just statistic gathering fools. Probably never played a sport in their lives. They just create things to write. This is exactly why Cohn is the only member of the press that Harbaugh truly doesn’t care for. Rarely is Harbaugh argumentative with the scribes that know what they are doing (i.e. Barrows, Kawakami, Maiocco, Branch, etc). The Cohns are just that……Cons.
Funny as hell Marvin. I can stand those cons
Oops. Meant can’t. Stupid auto correct
It is unfortunate there is so much negativity in the media. Lowell belongs in D.C. mixing it up with all the talking heads giving their pointless opinions about certian politicians or the typical he said she said gossip columns that I refuse to read. In sports it is my opinion that people want to read insightful things about their team. The 49ers have been very bad in the past so most people could write whatever they wanted and it would be hard to disagree but now Harbaugh has them flying and people don’t want to read columns from someone who always seems to have a bone to pick with Harbaugh or a star player.
Grant and his daddy are just a couple of typical, know-nothing, talent-less, liberal yuppies with ridiculous, inflated egos living in the North Bay. They probably had money handed down to them from their parents who had a winery or something. They haven’t done any actual work in their lives and rely on hand-outs from family members who may have actually accomplished something in their lives. Sad and wasteful to have these type of guys covering the 49ers, it isn’t befitting at all.
Writer’s Block is just another basement dwelling, fat internet nerd spewing vitriol from behind his computer monitor while contributing absolutely nothing to the world. He is simply a parasite that attacks those who are successful because they make him look even worse than the Cheeto eating, Mountain Dew swilling waste of oxygen that he is. He will never do anything worthwhile, he will never be noticed by anyone and he will live and die as human debris.
See? It’s easy to spew insults without any basis. Try using facts instead of ad hominem attacks. You might actually be considered a sentient life form if you do.
what did Mtn Dew ever do to you? Its just been nothing but a refreshing fizzy delight to millions, and you slander its name . Unacceptable
Facts? Like linking Poppa Cohn’s work is less than what the job entails? Ad hominem only works when arguing a debate. What did Grant write here that required fact?
This is OPINIONATED at worst. At best it was quite apropos to the level of content provide from the writer. Which is to say there was none. ;)
And of note, I find your insight to Writer’s Block filled with much of the same to which you criticize for. If you’re going to rebuke WB for his opinion, maybe you shouldn’t do that for which you rebuke. Just a little bit of unsolicited advice. You needn’t take it but it’s free and worth listening to even if I say so myself. ;)
MSC…I get your protection of Grant as he does get blasted here quite a bit, when in fact he does do a pretty good job giving us insight to the team. However, I can’t get behind you on this one, because I agree with a few of the things that have been written.
I hit the link to his Dad’s column to hopefully read a little something as to why AJ decided not to attend or that maybe he got an exception and went today and was coming back tomorrow but to hear his take on why he thinks it is wrong was a waste of 3 minutes of my day. AJ is not going to use the degree he earned for anything he needs in the near future. What he is going to use, and need, is an extensive knowledge of a very difficult playbook, an incredibly exhaustive workout routine and a grasp of what a demanding leader will want from his players.
This weekend was vital to the success of all the kids drafted or trying to make the team. For once we are in a position, as a franchise, to cut good players. Guys who will be picked up by other teams but the good thing is…players WANT to be on this team. A rookie has no guarantees, so AJ realized this and realized his future is now. He has a degree he can fall back on later, but for now, he needs to be a football player.
Not everyone’s son goes into writing, where an education, degree and paper diploma, to hang in the office, is necessary.
Hope to hear some good news form the weekend camp grant?
I agree, can’t daddy stand on his own 2 feet that he has to rely on his boy to do the dirty link work?
What a boring and point less story! thanks for sharing
Uh…yeah. Not his best work Grant. He just seems to be picking at something that isn’t there. Thanks, but I’ll stick to your articles.
Really!!!! Somebody gives a big doggy doodoo if you don’t participate in the impersonal cattle call, that is a graduation ceremony. I have been in 3 of them surrounding my years in HS and College. Not one of them meant a thing to me and were mostly attended by me for my parents sake and I graduated from a “small” program, Pharmacy school, where I had a fairly intimate relationship with many people in my program. It meant mostly nothing. Now do the same graduation from a major university with the gobs of people that go through it at the same time…….give me a break. This passes for sports and research…… wow the giants must be boring
Does anyone really care whether Jenkins attended graduation or not and whether Harbaugh misled Lowell to shut him up with a right cross with “go check your facts”
Once again it’s clear Lowell has a personal vendetta against Harbaugh and its shameful that us 49er fans are witnesses to it.
Congratulations Grant on having a great role model to follow.
I wish there were some way to block the comments. Some of the writers here are reverting to the mentality and behavior of the Jed Lucky Sperm days. It manages to be boorish and childish at the same time.
When I read these comments I cant help but wonder if the guys making them were ever taught any etiquette growing up. Clearly not. Orphans have better manners than the fools here. I’d ask if they’d ever heard the old axiom that if you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all, but the entitlement and anger demonstrate that even if they had that such rules do not apply to superior people such as themselves.
Or is it something else that’s the cause of this deep seated animosity? Obviously jealously is a major contributing factor. Inadequacy another. Unhappiness a third. This is how the rest of civilized society views you fellows who come here and do nothing but insult and screech like the petulant beats they are themselves no doubt raising out of wedlock.
Seriously guys, shut up and don’t go away mad, just go away.
It is obvious Lowell doesn’t have many fans on this blog. Blogs are for expressing your opinions not demonstrating Ms. Manners etiquette. Grant would be well served to leave his dad out of this as the reaction to re-posting his articles is predictably negative. As a son myself, I wouldn’t want to hear people trash talking my dad. Grant just do your thing, if people want to read Dad’s stuff they can find it without your help. Personally I never read his articles because he is so negative so putting a link on your blog won’t compel me to go there regardless of the enticing headline.
Should not the same standard apply to the columnist
Manners etiquette, Really!!! this is a 49er blog not the house wives of orange county blog. Who cares about Jenkin choosing to walk in his graduation or if JH asked him not to attend or was not honest with Mr Cohn! In the big picture Jenkin is getting paid millions of dollars to play football and the time spend in the camp may impact his production in the future.
I heard that the AD-G.Cohn went national news. RIGHT ON!
I think Jenkins isn’t a student type. He signed his big contract now its time to enjoy the toys and bling of life. Going back east to be treated like everybody else isn’t what he is about. Not now.
Ahhh, your dad is something else…. I bet he asks to see the manager a lot.
At hotels and restaurants? Not really. At baseball games? Absolutely.
ahaha Grant
Now that’s amusing; good one, Grant.
And your dad enjoys a cork now and then…no bans there!
@Prime
See. It is a national story now. And the Niner PR guys are very much wondering how to deal with it.
If AD didn’t have twitter, he and Grant could have dealt this all behind the scenes like it has always been.
This is the first straw in destroying any possible chance at a Super Bowl.
C’mon, this isn’t any bigger deal than the silly misrepresentation of a Harbaugh quote regarding how out of shape the WR’S are. ESPN ran with it like he was talking about his vets and not the rookies. News is slow to come by when there isn’t a game for another 3 months.
Jack
A few days ago you wrote a couple of posts that opened the door for those who hate me to just flood all in. Then you flat out misconstrued the meaning of another post (something you have said about me by the way). When I tried to point it out to you what I meant,you said I was getting more offensive. When I pointed out again what I meant in a follow up post, you again repeated the same message. That blog went down in large part due to your comments at me to which I defended myself and the blog got worse. I don’t like any part of that. So, if you can do your part, I promised Grant I’d do mine.
Then you told me to stay away, and on that point I agree. Now please hold up your end of the bargain and grant me the same request and skip my posts just as I’ve done my best to skip yours since.
Have a nice day.
DS,
Don’t blame me for the negative comments that get directed your way.
As for the insensitive comments you made on Thursday, no matter how you meant them it came across as such and when it was brought to your attention instead of realizing how some felt you chose to give us a definition we already know and then blame me for telling you why it was offensive and that I shouldn’t bring it up.
As for responding to your comments, I will continue to do so, and attempt to give you the amount of respect you deserve.
Way to think about the blog atmosphere before your own feelings.
Good bye.
Mr. Cohn senior’s article starts with, “It is important for a college graduate to attend graduation and to make that dramatic march in cap and gown in honor of four years of hard, rewarding work, and to pose for photos with the family and to introduce the proud family to professors and to possess that special day for a lifetime.”
That’s a legitimate opinion, but nothing more. While I’m sure he knows the difference, his column sounded like he thinks the ceremony IS graduation. It isn’t. Doing the work and earning the degree is how you graduate, and AJ HAS graduated. The ceremony is something completely different. Mr. Cohn’s opinion is that the “pomp and circumstance” is important. AJ’s take is that it’s more important for him to be with his new team, and begin developing his professional career. Personally, I like AJ’s perspective better. So does coach Harbaugh.
A.J. changed his perspective. When he first met with the press, he told us he was not going to attend rookie mini camp because he was going to walk at his graduation and that meant a lot to him.
Then, a week later he said being there for his teammates means a lot to him and he can walk whenever. My dad just wanted to find out why he changed his mind, so he asked the coach, who needlessly lied.
“needlessly lied” or simply overlooked.
There are more important details JH has to be concerned with than one person’s graduation date. He is dealing with dozens of new kids and football stuffs. “Football Stuffs.”
OTOH, LC’s only concern, I believe**, is to fuel this Cohn vs. Harbaugh feud, however one-sided it has been.
** “I believe” . JH used it, so did LC in the article. It’s same as “as far as I know”, so not 100% certainty.
This article is helping the #StopCohn movement, I believe**. LOL
That’s his first round pick. He’s the star of the rookie camp. I’d bet Harbaugh didn’t overlook the graduation impediment.
Really no big deal about Harbaugh lying. Haven’t we been down this path before with him saying Alex was his QB, and then going after P.Manning?
Harbaugh is not a writters puppet and he will not provide any inside information when asked questions. His dry answers have been the norm since his days at Stanford. It is what it is.
I can live with his lies as long as his players respect and give him their full effort and win.
How did Harbaugh lie? Has anyone thought maybe he was telling you what he believed to be the truth. See there again jumping to conclusions before the facts are in. Has anyone thought maybe Harbaugh was told something and maybe what he was told wasnt true or misunderstood. I dont know that facts for what came out of Harbaughs mouth and I doubt any of the media does either. Maybe Harbaugh lied maybe he didnt.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Harbaugh treats Jenkins no differently to any other player on the roster. Harbaugh appears genuinely interested in getting to know the players as people but a 1st round draft pick won’t get special treatment. I imagine Harbaugh was more concerned with the start of the veteran offseason program, where the bulk of his roster and success this season will come from, rather than getting to know the personal details of his rookies graduation decisions. And as such I wouldn’t be surprised if Harbaugh really didn’t know the specifics of why Jenkins didn’t attend his graduation ceremony (emphasis on ceremony – he has graduated as Rusty pointed out).
Jenkins told my dad yesterday he had a conversation with Harbaugh about whether or not to go to graduation. Harbaugh was misrepresenting things when he told my dad to check his facts. His facts were correct.
Yes – they had a conversation. But what sort of conversation? What were the specifics of the conversation? Did Harbaugh put pressure on Jenkins to attend camp? I’m sure they discussed that Jenkins’ ceremony was on at the same time as rookie mini-camp, they probably discussed the pros and cons of attending the ceremony vs attending camp, but did Harbaugh make Jenkins tell him which way he would decide? Or was it just a chat for Jenkins to then make up his own mind. This is what AJ suggests happened in his own words – “Coach Harbaugh, he gave me his blessing. ‘It’s up to you.’”.
Harbaugh said he believed AJ had already graduated, and like others on here I am assuming he meant that AJ has completed his studies and thereby graduated. When he walks is up to him. I don’t think Harbaugh was lying, I just think he was doing what he usually does and being evasive.
My dad’s question was direct and simple – why isn’t A.J. In Illinois this weekend when he previously said he would be there? Harbaugh could have evaded by saying “Ask A.J.” but he said my dad hadn’t done his homework when in fact he had.
LC is the one who lied.
Here’s why.
“Why did Harbaugh lie to me? He said Jenkins already marched in graduation.”
JH never used the word “marched” or suggested AJ attended the ceremony. It’s LC who misrepresented what JH said.
JH first said the rookies who graduate in June can join the minicamp, then he corrected himself in AJ’s case, that AJ had already graduated, so where is the lie? He clarified it.
LC is trying to deceive the readers with this May/June “discrepancy”, or he wasn’t paying attentions.
LC misunderstood and later backpedaled on the “marching” comment in the CZ. SMH
Grant, I’m not debating Harbaugh could have handled it differently or “better”. He’s not a media guy, and never will be. He doesn’t like giving away details about his players except to say how good they are. But I contend that he didn’t lie. As I understand it, AJ has completed all of his studies and ergo has graduated.
I believe Harbaugh is being evasive in his answer and avoided directly addressing Lowell’s question, but I don’t think he lied.
Coach Harbaugh evasiveness with the press comes from the fact when Singletary was th head coach, everyone outside the lockerroom knew things they err not suppose to. So now JH has everyone on lockdown and the press gets little. This makes the Lowell a little edgy as you can tell. Too bad cause I love how JH bioch slapped Lowell in his place.

(3:17 – the exchange in question)
LC: Jim, why is AJ Jenkins here? I thought he was going to graduate this weekend, and march.
[This line of questioning is very vague and can lead one to assume that LC is asking about both, accumulating credits to graduate and participating in graduation ceremonies, or "marching".]
JH: The rules are that the youngsters who are going to graduate in June [I am guessing that here, JH is referring to "graduating" as walking, or marching, in LC's terms], can be here for the mini camp. I believe AJ’s coming back Monday, too … I believe he’s already graduated [and here, it sounds like he is referring to the actual accumulation of credit to graduate when stating, "he graduated"], Lowell.
LC: He already … [JH starts reply] marched?
[This is where LC's platform weakens; he accuses Harbaugh of lieing about the fact that AJ "marched", because in cutting off LC in his reply, JH was responding based on his last interpretation of graduation being an accumulation of credits, not marching across a stage, as LC implied after JH had begun his reply]
JH: Ya … you might want to check your facts.
The Cohns’ accusation about JH lieing is all based in the semantics behind the meaning of the words “graduate” and “march”. By using both words, LC was unclear when he introduced the topic. JH even spoke to both meanings when he replied, allegedly assuming that LC would be more concerned with the fact that AJ earn his degree rather than march for graduation; and LC followed up in a way that he could use Coach’s words against him, by qualifying his vague question about graduating with the term “march”, after JH had already begun to dismiss him and his contrarian point of view.
Thank you, for breaking down for the cohns.
Thanks for the insight grant. Although graduation is a very important ceremony to attend, I love the fact that this kids mind is fully on his career and seems like he wants to be a star in this league.
As far as Harbaugh “lying”. I think it’s obvious that harbaugh is not a fan of the media. And it seems he is a covert/secretive kind of coach. I’m sure there is a method to his madness. Coaches that have this mentality always seem to have fresh ideas that the nfl hasn’t seen yet. A trendsetter if you will. He’s not as open or forward as Walsh was, but then again there wasn’t the technology there is today. 1 sentence can be taken anyway literally in a matter of seconds. Worldwide. I actually love the fact that nobody can pick his thoughts. I have a feeling this guy is on of the special ones.
I found the article to be self promoting and pedantic. Why go on and on about who said what for what reason when we’re discussing sitting in at your graduation ceremony versus getting a head start on your career. Yes the ceremony for some is a very meaningful experience but for others, like myself, it was simply more for the parents and family then myself as all I really cared about was being able to put the college on my resume and I didn’t need the ceremony for that. Learning the offense and learning how to practice in the NFL in the big picture is far more important and apparently meaningful to Mr. Jenkins.
I understand that Cohn Sr. is an intelligent man but to try and ferret out some other explanation or to go looking for some reason to call Harbaugh a jerk for convincing A.J. to skip graduation is completely unnecessary and doesn’t do much to add to Mr. Cohn’s credibility or readability.
When the Niners first drafted Jenkins, two times he said walking at his graduation meant a lot to him. Then, he said he thought about it and being with his teammates meant more to him because he could walk any time. But walking does mean something to him even if it didn’t to you.
It’s nice to walk with your class, with the students you worked and studied and bonded with. Now he’ll walk with a bunch of kids he doesn’t know. It’s too bad.
But if that was his decision, fine. And he said it was his decision. But why did Harbaugh have to lie about it? He could have said, “That was up to A.J. We would have supported whatever decision he made.”
Instead, he said, “He already graduated,” and “he graduates in June,” and “check your facts.”
It seems to me that his words are being taken wrong. When he said he already graduated to me he meant that he’s already earned the credits so therefore he is done with school aka he’s graduated. When he said it again he just didn’t take the time to clarify between graduating and sitting in at the ceremony. Check your facts again goes back to the idea that Jenkins is done with school and I think he misunderstood the point your dad was trying to make.
The guy has a hundred other things on his mind other then Jenkins reasons for attending camp so for him to stumble or mis-speak a bit certainly isn’t a crime. I also think the both of you should know better then to try and automatically twist his words to sound negative rather then give him the benefit of the doubt. To me nothing he said sounded like a lie in anyway.
My dad asked Harbaugh directly about Jenkins walking at his graduation this Friday, an issue everyone was aware of. The P.R. staffed informed us the night he was drafted and then reminded us the next day that Jenkins would be missing the first day of rookie mini camp because he’d be attending his graduation ceremonies.
You and your father seem to believe that he lied. If he already graduated than JH didn’t lie. Your father asked if he graduated not if he walked down the aisle at his graduation ceremony. Or did I read it wrong? Taken out of context you can make any assumption that you want. I graduated and didn’t go to my graduation ceremony. Why? There were over 15000 students and at the time the ceremony was held in Memorial stadium. An event I was glad to miss. Defend your father. It is a sons right, but I don’t see how you can defend what he writes.
You read it wrong. He asked why Jenkins wasn’t in Illinois at his graduation this weekend as he previously said he would be.
Big effin deal! Ceremonies are important? I never went to my graduation because I saw it as a waste of time. I got the diploma and didn’t feel the need to parade around on stage with a stupid cap & gown. And, I didn’t have to compete with Moss, Crabs, Manningham..etc for a job. Personally I think the kid is smart and has his priorities straight. Get to work and prove the doubters wrong about being a reach in the 1st round. I love that mindset.
But that’s not how Jenkins felt about the ceremonies. He said they’re meaningful to him.
ya… and then he said it was more meaningful to him to attend rookie mini camp … so why all the grandstanding and allusion to a moral superiority by you and Lowell?
Is it that important to imply Coach Harbaugh is a liar, based on the semantics of what AJ said and how coach interpreted that, and the exact wording of his response to Lowell?
It just seems like there could be more enlightening/rewarding things to spend your time on in providing “inside scoop”. I guess it pays better to be a contrarian than to provide objective analysis.
Who cares, move on and go write another one of your highschool stories for crying out loud!
..Grants get no inside scoop……nobody @ ninerland likes him………hope PD gets us a real writer ASAP….
Its not all that surprising Lowell likes the idea of walking at Graduation; he paid for his son’s UCLA education. That’s all good, he deserves credit (w/Mrs Cohn), and Grant for achieving. The ceremonies are in many ways for the parents; important to them. I posted yesterday that as a starving GI Bill Vet grad, earning some cash by working that day was more important to me. We can’t judge Jenkins’ motivations without “walking a mile in his moccasins.”
I might be wrong. Lowell may have uncovered a sinister conspiracy and cover-up. Or not.
Many large universities have more than one ceremony. Is it possible that Jenkins could participate in a later ceremony?
Even if it isn’t possible to still do the ceremony, and even if Harbaugh some how communicated to Jenkins that he shouldn’t miss any practice time, what’s with the “Watergate” parsing of Harbaugh and Jenkins statements?
Thanks Marvin 1, Writer’s Block, Ceadderman, Maui Dave, and Hank Scorpio for your comments. Right on! Grant … you do not need to defend your father … and you should not.
Grant,
I’m letting you know that I am neither a fan nor hater of the articles your dad writes. If it’s good, then I’ll say so. Same thing if it’s weak. I’ve done the same thing with other writers in the past and I’m not going to stop now. I think that’s just the inner critic in me.
We appreciate your honesty and we love reading your comments. An inner critic’s a good thing to have.
Thanks.
I am a fan of Lowell he will write a great off the charts column and I will give him his props, and then some of his blogs are not much about anything and I will ignore them, along with any Raider or A’s column, just zero interest on losing franchises.
Grant:
In your remarks above you say that Jenkins decided to skip graduation and attend the mini-camp instead.The fact is that Jenkins had already graduated and was only skipping a ceremony ,not skipping his graduation.
My question is…were you lying when you typed those words or did you just mis type( speak ) ? See how it works Grant? I know you didnt tell a lie but if I made my living as an elder statesman colmunist with a Bay Area newspaper, who made his name by being Mr. negative, I could take your words and TRY and twist them into some sort of conspiracy.You are young and just getting started, you dont need to follow that Mr. negative path but can blaze your own positive career. Your choice. JMHO.
Hot garbage!
Looks like both Cohns soon to be persona non gratis at 49ers HQ.
Begrudgingly agree.
The last two days haven’t boosted the Cohn’ image around 4949 Centennial Way.
Unfortunately I am feeling the same way. This is all stupid nonesense means nothing.
…actually it does…..hearing the players are going to boycott Grant……
this is a pure example of why people need to work hard and be rewarded……
Grant never deserved this opportunity….he got it cuz of his dad……if he had worked hard for it, he would know better not to think everyone would be ok about the word “squealed”…….
People who worked hard to get where they are – understand they need to work harder to keep what they are……….this is a total opposite of Grant…..his cocky, lack of respect attitude is gonna get him out the door………..and honestly I can’t wait……its like my prediction is about to be accurate again…..
…i never really believed that Grant got this opportunity as a site blogger cuz of his dad until now……
… ha ha ha….Good for the little Cohn……
Very Al Davis like to hold a grudge…Harbaugh even copied the old mans flaws.
Why is this article relevant to anything meaningful?? Is there no other news about the 49ers?? How about the news about the ex Washington State coach joining the Niners?? How about a rookie mini camp report?? It is no wonder why the players dislike your articles.
….articles????…..Grant write no articles…….
check out Matt Miaocco and Matt Barrows……for real sport stuff
check out Grant Cohn for dumb comments that has nothing to do with football…i.e graduation ceremony….
Date of graudation and date of ceremonies can be completly different? Someone tell me if that is untrue. I only went to my high school graduation ceremonies at the beging of my parents. I did not attend college ceremonies.
“Cant establish a connection”..to the Cohnzone. Is your dads blog the target of a hacker?
@ Stan
One of A.D.’s Silicon Valley friends probably hacked Lowell in reprisal. Grab your flak jackets folks, this could get ugly!
Hmm,can Mark Purdy explain where he’s been today?
NFL 1982 championship game is on, Cowboys and Niners. NFL network , 2nd qtr.
Harbaugh as quoted in Kawamaki’s blog on 300 pound players : We can see if they go over cones,or over the little cone.
SURE- I know what he meant…Cohn’s..and we know who little Cohn is. Not very subtle…
It’s funny, but I would have thought that it would be the people who come to this blog to talk smack that would be the ones who get Lowell and Grant the most. After all, these guys provide you with a forum to do your bitching.
Sure they take moral positions. You might disagree, fine. You might not think that those positions are important. No issue here. But how is your rude commentary some how okay but their opinions about the goings on in the world are not?
So you have the inalienable right to bitch about their writing and to hurl insults, but somehow they don’t have the right to give their critique of your beloved football team?
Nuts to that.
LC and GC put their names and pictures next to what they say. They have the balls to back it up day after day. None of you noticed, but Grant immediately confronted Anthony Davis after AD’s tweets. How many of you would have done that?
You don’t even have the sack to use your own name on this blog?
I’m not saying that you have to like Lowell or Grant, but they have just as much right as you do to give their opinions. Can’t you be civil?
Grow up.
I am pretty sure these guys get paid to do this. If you want to pay me, I will be happy to put my pic next to my icon! Dumbest comment ever.
All that tweet and retweeting-hard for me to figure out whether it s was AD or CK who said that “Cohn wont be getting much interview time”…then when I went to both’s tweet homes…that comment was gone. Or it was a third person?
Ooop. I typeo’d my own email address…that’s the reason for a different face icon above.
