Soxbadger Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It really makes me want to write an article about why you need to be critical of what you read on the internet because literally anyone can say anything, and if you put it on a reasonable looking website, it gives the appearance of legitimacy.

Dick Allen Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 02:06 PM) Im pretty confident his first game will be a road game. The CSN Bulls guy said it likely would be a home game since they would want him checked after a previous days' practice to make sure he was good to go. He also said if Rose does't come back during this 3 game homestand, he probably is sitting the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 This roll of the dice has certainly made for an insane amount of web traffic. Oh, world, I love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 "Roll of the dice" Interesting phrase to use considering you're flat out lying. Quite the way to make a name for yourself and your website as something that should be taken seriously. ...wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Its downright disgraceful. Disgusting. Its one thing to be wrong with info its another to flat out lie. Its crap like that which causes people to give good blogs and websites with good and real sources a hard time/crap when they are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Rose is coming back today, just like Brad Stevens was on a flight to C-U, just like AJ was going to be busted for cheating, just like Lebron was coming to Chicago just like....... Meh. The lesson, as always, is don't believe anything on the internet. Edited March 18, 2013 by Jenksismybitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I really dont care to be honest. If that is how Steve wants to write, I have no problem with him being the National Enquirer. Would I do it? No, but thats because my reputation means something to me. I do find it amusing that a blog with approximately 300 twitter followers/facebook friends, would be able to get this much traffic over a single tweet. It just further proves the lack of critical thinking skills. Just because you read something does not mean its true. He could have just wrote the article about why he believed Rose would return tonight based on X,Y, Z evidence. By the time I actually saw it, it was far to late, so sometimes you just roll with the punches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Jenks, Its not even dont believe what you read on the internet. Its just far better not to believe anything until proven otherwise. But I guess thats why a skeptical/cynical b**** like myself doesnt get worked up over rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: That said, SoxBadger is completely right (which pains me to say about anyone with Badger in their name) about the lack of critical thinking from most people online. This doesn't make it acceptable in the least to do this sort of thing, but it's a massive problem with the current 24/7 newscycle.

Soxbadger Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Id do respect a man who when faced with a crushing reality, decides that he is going to double down on the bluff. At this point I think that Steve wants Rose to come back so much, he is actually trying to will it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Oh come on, disgusting is a little far. TMZ reported that Lil Wayne was dead. Journalists make s*** up every single day of the week, often for reputable publications. This is a fan blog that had sent out a tweet to 300 people. From that 25,000 people have read the article. If you are over the age of 10 and cant recognize that is not a legitimate source and that you should take it completely with a grain of salt, that is on you. Not to mention, 2 days ago I posted: I hate to say it, but Ill believe it when I see it. It can take up to 18 months after an ACL surgery for the knee to feel “normal” again. Thus, something could happen this weekend to further delay the return. Whenever Rose is ready to play, he will play, and Im quite fine with that. A day ago Zoom posted "The thoughts expressed in the commentary on this site are soley the beliefs of the author and do not represent the views of any other individuals or Flapship as a whole." That was a day ago. Its funny in a really terrible sad way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
