Horrible Articles on yahoo.com
For the past few years, Tim and I have always gotten a kick out of some of the articles that yahoo posts on its website. Let me give you some examples, and you’ll see what I mean. Keep in mind, these are the ENTIRE articles. Not just a lead-in or anything like that….
Distinguished Senators: The Trade
The trade of Ohka for Spivey is a pain to analyze, since there are all kinds of hypotheticals and differing projections and that kind of nonsense to take into consideration.
or this one…
Favre flashed durability early
Today’s story is about Brett Favre. Fine, but where do you start?
YES. That is the entire story…
Earlier this off-season, when the Green Bay Packers failed to retain guards Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle, many wondered if quarterback Brett Favre would return behind a revamped offensive line, and if the Packers could continue to be one of the NFL’s best offenses.
Once again, that is the ENTIRE article. It doesn’t expand on why the offensive line is going to be fine, as the title suggests. It just stops.
Seriously, yahoo. If you can’t find anyone better to write your articles, give me a call. A goat in a tutu (what?) could write better than this.
arent these just scouting reports? yeah, they basically tell nothing, but these are scouts that
dont know how to write (obviously). if you want to read a real news story, you probably would go
to the sports page. thats not as funny, but at least you get some content.
