Footballguys daily email inconsistency (1 Viewer)

[Miro Z]

Today's email, #108, contained the following, separate, stories:

One story was:

" Detroit Lions WR Marvin Jones has been the team's top receiver in camp, and it hasn't been close, as WR Golden Tate has had issues holding onto the football."

This prompted this view:

" Jones is going at least 2-3 rounds after Golden Tate in most drafts, but his red zone prowess and reports like this make that seem ill-advised."

The other story was:

"Detroit Lions WR Golden Tate has had sure hands in camp while his counterparts have had issues."

Which prompted this view:

" Tate should lead the team in receptions."

So Tate has had issues holding onto the football and Jones has been the best receiver in camp... no wait, Tate has had sure hands and the other guys have had issues!

I may be a grumpy former journalist but c'mon, who edits this stuff? At least point out the contradictions in these reports on the Lions WRs (which bizarrely came from the same beat writer), don't just faithfully feature them!

People read the daily update emails in early August?

I guess IT really does equal info.

Glad I wasn't the only one wondering about this.

Pretty sure it is just an aggregated thing done by a machine.  Although the "our view" part is generated by staffers maybe.

Long answer short-use Twitter for news. The staff doesn't monitor the blogger.
I've complained about this and basically got blown off.

Nice followup email by Joe on this just now....

Well, I'll be damned.  The letter writing campaign worked.
