Cerbaho-WG Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) I wrote Cowley an e-mail talking about how I am a journalism major at Missouri and basically blasting his morals and ethics as a journalists. I told him that he is exactly the opposite of what we are taught journalists should be like. His response: "Go to law school kid. Do yourself a favor. And tell them Uncle Joe sent you. You'll thank me later." So says the person from the prestigious Kent State university, a school best known for Drew Carey and that one guy who got shot by the Ohio National Guard.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) By giving Joe Cowley this much attention in his email inbox, you guys are probably giving his ego some serious wood. There are bigger battles to fight than this guy. Yeah. I just logged on a couple minutes ago hoping there would be some new information on this 'proposed' 3-way deal. And I was excited to see there were like 100 new posts since the last time I had logged on. Of course, about 98% of those were Cowley related. Kinda disappointing.

Cerbaho-WG Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Was referring to this: http://windward.hawaii.edu/facstaff/nuckols-j/KentState.jpg I know four people were shot there, but he, Jeff Miller, is best known. Calm down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 QUOTE (JPN366 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 06:32 PM) Since Jay Hineybird is Jay Hineybird, can we have a vote on Cowley's nickname? My vote is for "Cowleysaurus." Just call him Hineybird Jr. That is all he is. All least Kotex did something original in Chicago. Cowley isn't even smart enough to do that much.

southsider2k5 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 07:04 PM) One of the rare things we agree on. My issue with Cowley is that as a beat-writer working in a major metropolitan area, for a major news outlet, his work just isn't up to snuff. He doesn't come close to offering out pieces like Gordon Edes, Susan Slusser, or former beat writers Buster Olney, Tim Kurkjian, Ken Rosenthal, etc,. His pieces are uninformed, illogical conjecture which bring absolutely nothing to the table. It does not appear that the White Sox are particularly enamored with his work either, as they certainly don't seem to go out of their way to give him much of anything in the way of valuable information. As fans of a major market team, we deserve better than Joe Cowley. And that ticks me off. We have much better than that in Chicago. Quit reading the D-bag, and start reading stuff that comes out of CSN and the Trib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 11:32 PM) His response: "Go to law school kid. Do yourself a favor. And tell them Uncle Joe sent you. You'll thank me later." That's probably serious advice from him. I bet Joe hates his life and just makes ridiculous comments to get attention and act out like a little kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 07:26 PM) You would think a guy who beat cancer and gets paid to do what he does would be wound a little less tightly. I could understand how a guy writing for a paper would really despise any and all bloggers, but if the information is wrong, why would it upset him so much? The only way Cowley is going to look bad is if he gets scooped by a blogger. If anything he just made a lot more people read the blog. He really is a loser. He thinks he's a writer, comedian, talk show host, but all he really is is an insecure hack. He despises anyone who could threaten his job... which is pretty much anyone with Comedy Central and ESPN.

Sox72 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Maybe we can start a Cowley thread??? Kinda was hoping for something on Adrian Gonzalez. This is getting a little ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YonderLaroche Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Seems like this deal isn't serious or was just a thought/proposal that went no where fast... nobody else is even reporting about.. Cowley is a d-bag but probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the one thing i can't get out of it is why would the Angels do this i admit i read some interesting ideas like from KHP and others but why wouldn't the Angels just trade for Adrian Gonzales them self's i admit i don't know there farm system but i would think they could put a good package together to get him . anyway i hope we get AGON as i have been saying for awhile we should get him i guess we will know soon enough . GO FOR IT KW AGON is worth it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Why should anyone care what Joe Cowleotti thinks? He's just trying to take Hineybird's path to fame. Slime trail and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
