Bonner and his bullshit backhanded compliments. He's a dick

[BrunswickDawg]

What an ass. We seriously need to yank his credentials.

[Jacksondevildog]

Well, honestly, Bonner isn't wrong by tweeting that. If Donald Gray ever wants to play at the next level, he will need to handle criticism. This is the day and age that we live in. Beat writers tweet play by play, as well as commentary on the play, nationwide. I don't really see anything wrong with that.

Gray is a lot nicer than I would have been to him.

Our own Beat writer shouldn't be the one doing it though. That's the issue...not the criticism, but who was doing it. Bonner needs to know his damn role or GTFO

[Jacksondevildog]

I understand what you are saying, but I follow most SEC beat writers on twitter, and they say the same type of things. We get defensive when it's one of our own. David Murray is sarcastic as hell on twitter, and he's been covering us since Noah walked the earth. No credentials pulled. Bonner is an internet reporter. That's what the CL is slowly becoming. I'll be interested to see if he apologizes.

Lol what? What is his "damn role" then?

He is not paid by the university. He is paid to give an unbiased view of MSU football by the Clarion-Ledger. Does that mean he is always unbiased? No. He does a pretty good job for what he is asked to do. He does lean negative though, but that is the same with most beat writers.

I don't understand why people on here act like beat writers are paid by and are there to serve the university. They don't have the team's best interest in mind. They have "how many clicks can I get" in mind. However, the two generally happen to mean the same thing. But when you all fling to his negative stuff. It shows he can be negative and still get clicks as well.

It's a petty reply by Gray, and funny that our fans think it's the type of thing Bonner shouldn't tweet.

Most beat writers have that dry sense of humor angle when tweeting . Nothing wrong with the comment by Bonner . Also nothing wrong with Gray defending himself . Carry on

[mic]

I don't really have a big problem with the comment from Bonner, but I don't have a problem with Gray's reply, either.

What easy balls has he dropped? If you're going to make that comment where Gray can see it, you better be able to back it up.

Someone should go through his articles and point out all of the grammar mistakes, awkward wording, and bizarre paragraph ordering. It would not be difficult to find examples.

I don't see why it's petty for Gray to defend himself. The guy said Gray can't make easy catches. This isn't some random writer. It's a guy that Gray sees all the time because he's our beat writer. And he wasn't being an unbiased reporter he was being a dick.

We don't have to go through all of them. Just repost the Arkansas game article giving them the win before the game was finished.

You will not need to search very hard...
