I think the virus went to Matty's brain

Mods, we have to "shelter in place", wear masks, and "observe social distancing"

Can the site do the same by blocking the thinly veiled "SI.com" articles on the right side that are Cohn-bait?

I get enough pop-ups from this site so I know you guys are making some money from me.

Sports Illustrated used to be a great magazine that I subscribed to.



Now, its Grant Cohn writing a puff piece one day and a diss piece the next. If he were covering the White House, he'd be one of those reporters that Trump just dresses down.

This. Things like this very thread are why he's so successful. His father made bank off of trolling people and he's just following in his footsteps. This thread is nothing more than advertisement and free clicks he most likely would've never gotten.

Grant Cohn would be a great heel in wrestling. His father could manage him. As sportswriters they suck. They give their opinion instead of facts or pass off their opinion as fact. I don't read him but I do see his tweets from time to time. Never mentions when he's wrong but points out when he's right relentlessly. The players roll their eyes when he's around. Few respect him. Don't read him. He makes a living on riling people up. Way to go.

Why is he allowed around our beloved team?? Send him to the faiders

SI must've been supremely desperate for viewership to hire Grant Cohn. Would be awesome if somehow Webzone discontinued listing his clickbait drivel. Promoting it sullies the Webzone itself.

Webbie is a firm believer in freedom of speech. Even for Cohn.

The Cohn thread was merged with this general Media thread. There wasn't a need for a specific member of the media to have their own thread in NinerTalk.

Please use this thread for all general discussion regarding the media.

Freedom of speech has nothing to do with choosing to post him on this site... but ok

Personally, Mr. Cone has a unique set of stupidity that needs it's own thread. Kinlaw has his thread, Jimmy, Lynch, etc... why not Mr. Cone.

Grant Cohn closes the fridge with his hip.

Speaking of Cohn, where has Follower been?

For me SI fell off a cliff yrs ago and i discontinued my subscription that went back into the early 80s. The fact Grunt Con man is now writing an arictle for them on occasion, doesnt change anything. It still isn't worth paying for. And wiht writers like con man, they aren't getting any better by adding him. Probably the reverse actually.

All sports writers are going to places other than newspapers who no longer have the great feature writers. Most papers now only have a beat writer who is pretty much nothing more than a mouthpiece for the team.
