The I hate Dickie Injustice Thread

[TEXANRED]

Richies a fine man and a good American.
It's not becoming of people to say these mean and hateful things about him.
Afterall he's just trying to pay the bills, feed the family, put kids thru school, etc. like the rest of us.

Thats not the point.

Justice hides behind his blog, altering what people say and erasing key points that make other bloggers look foolish. He is a coward. He wants to write stupid, opinionated, and nonfactual material, fine, but stand by them. However he doesn't.

The Texans may be new to Houston, and forgive the cliché, this isn't our first Rodeo and most of us have forgotten more about football than he will ever know.

I can't speak for what sort of man he is other than my dealings with him and what he writes or says publicly. I do not know him.

Ultimately, I think that everyone is best served by focusing criticism on what people say and not specifically the person. Personally, I'm not terribly keen on the title of this thread.

If you are a writer, you will write some words you are proud of and some not so much. He writes a lot of words so I'm guessing he has greater odds of some of them being pretty ridiculous.

And I'm not thinking that Texan fan on Texan fan crackbacks are particularly cool. There's not large numbers of us in the world, so we might as well be cool with each other.

In other words, I think this thread is pretty deadhorsed until the next time RJ says some durned foolish or worse.

Thanks for staying above the fray. RJ is the Jerry Springer of the Houston Chronicle. He gets people to read his column based on the outrageous things he writes. It must be depressing to grow up with aspirations of being a journalist and your career turns out like this. I actually feel sorry for him. That will not make me read his columns.

It may not sound like it, but I've really had a lot of fun on this thread the past couple of days. I guess that says something no so good about me that the only time I get really involved in this board is when a good non-football argument is brewing.

I've sobered up since my last post, so I'll get back to the point here. Traditional sportswriters in general are so resentful of bloggers because they routinely get scooped by them and the bloggers are more knowledgeable than the sportswriters. Anyone who doesn't believe me should watch this video where a bunch of sportswriters gang up the Deadspin blogger.

Richard Justice (if that's his real name) is no exception. He's an extremely bitter guy that can't deal with getting called out.

I'm not a meth head and I listen to captain mickey every weekend.

Lighten up dude. That was a joke. I also listen to him to while I get ready for work because my radio can't pick up any other stations at that time of the morning.

Ultimately I have no hard feelings towards anyone in this thread except Justice himself. Having said that, I'll still read his articles because I can appreciate a non-homer's perspective.

And sometimes there's at least a (small) grain of truth in what he writes.

Not me. A non-homers perspective is fine, but he isn't even that. Someone mentioned Jerry Springer and that's the perfect analogy. He writes solely to get a rise out of people, doesn't matter what the content is, and those in the audience supporting him are going "Richie, Richie, Richie".

For me, once you lose ALL credibility, which Justice did years ago, there's no reason to ever waste my time on it again. There are MUCH BETTER and much more professional options out there where I don't have to rot my brain with the garbage that guys like Dickie spews.

I think this thread has run its course. Posters are taking more potshots at each other than Justice's work. If there is a Texan related column or blog penned by Justice that is worth comment, someone may start a new thread. Just not "i hate dickie" part 2.
