McDonald: This one is for the die-hards

[ElNono]

Thank you. It seems a lot of people are jealous of McDonald.

I didn't know Haislip wasn't going to LV and if say you did youre lying.

The only reason that we had any idea that de Colo was probably not going to go is because of Bruno being a wellspring of knowledge about European basketball and he wasn't even sure. At least Bruno has some class.

Actually for a blog its fairly well written and formatted.

Whats ed up is that a lot of you are taking credit for what is reported on the board with contributions of at the very least dozens of people and then hammer this one guy for whatever little bull you can. Its mean-spirited and pretty ed up.

I guess thats the interwebs for you.

Nobody ed when Ludden, a guy that obviously cared about his profession, took the time to write well versed articles, besides of adding a tidbit or two of information, and attempting to fact check as humanly possible.

This guy reeks of lazy and unprofessional.

It does get kind of annoying having to read everyone on here acting like they know "insider" spurs info. There are knowledgeable posters on here...but they are few and far between.

I know quite a few of you have it out for Jeff, but this complaint is non-sense "blogs" aren't exactly "articles."

I hate this "blog" cop out bs. He's still a journalist who publishes his work on a newspapers portal website. No excuses whatsoever.

What was left out was that the article was written in crayon on a Big Chief notepad...

It's not that we have insider info, it's just that a lot of the posters on here find out most of this information from other sites and sources about a week before McDonald writes it. So, most of the time, his articles and blogs are meaningless.

I don't find much of his info that insightful, either...but the at udes of some of the posters on here is ridiculous.

Jeff McDonald should be nominated for laziest blogger in history. Can't the guy ever say anything original or interesting?

ST is generally 2 days ahead of this ball of turd.

At least he is not tweeting his b.s.

Hate it all you want but it's not going to be published in the paper tomorrow. It's a blog.

actually he probably should, instead of wasting a blog with bullet points.

How does Blair affect what decision they make on Gist? I would think Haislip has more to do with that decision.

Is there room for Udoka? Even if they trade Finley? It would be just like the Spurs to bring him back instead of Bowen.

Ah the journalism know it alls and majors are back at it again.

People trashed Ludden's articles quite frequently on this site.

People need to turn their expectations down a notch. Newspapers are bleeding money and they don't cater to the hardcore sports crowd that spends hours a day watching an internet forum for news about their team. They are for the everyday Joe that probably gets their Spurs news once a week.

Also, very few blogs, even those by professional writers, are actually presented professionally. I don't even follow blogs hardcore and I know that.
