Journalism from Super Bowl XLIV, Indianapolis Edition

Welcome to our world of Bob Kravitz. (I live in Indianapolis)

Re: The Worst Piece of Journalism from Super Bowl

I know it is Kravitz's job to stir the pot but it doesn't change the fact that he's a douchebag.

Worst. Article. Ever.

The Worst Piece of Journalism from Super Bowl XLIV

1) Decide Sean Payton's a traitor
2) Talk to the people he supposedly betrayed
3) Find out that none of them consider him a traitor
4) Write the column anyway
5) ???
6) Profit

Is there anything you can't quote South Park for?

Re: Kravitz

As an Indy resident, I prefer to think of Kravitz as a Gannett mercenary, rather than a local journalist. Please don't interpret his residence in our city as anything other than an unfortunate turn of events. We don't claim him.

Explaining Kravitz is almost as confusing as reading him. He slams most major decisions made by the Colts organization, then claims Devil's Advocate when he's proven wrong. He jumps on a lot of bandwagons when they've already parked after the victory parade. And, unfortunately, he is the face of Indiana sports reporting, so I would expect to see him on PTI no later than Wednesday.

Either these guys have bad memories, or they're a lot more forgiving than I am. That, or I just happened to reach out to two Bears who don't have much, if any, issue with Payton's previous incarnation as a replacement player. It's possible if I talked to Gary Fencik or Steve McMichael, I would get a very different answer.

Of course, since he's not actually a "journalist", there's no reason for him to bother talking to Gary Fencik or Steve McMichael. It's amazing how he uses the fact that all of the people he talked to were ok with Payton as evidence that someone must hate the guy.

Wow. That actually reads like a brilliant piece of satire. The Onion should hire Kravitz as their lead sportswriter and just tell him to write his usual columns.

Over the last several years,

Over the last several years, whenever Kravitz has pointed out that Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ was not actually a Colts fan, the Indy message boards lit up with the lynch mob crowd. Given that, I'll give him a temporary insanity pass on this one.

Re: The Worst Piece of Journalism

Wow, this guy might surpass Ron Borges for worst sportswriter I've read.

...

Nah, not possible. But he certainly gave it a go!
