Can someone sell me on TBS? What would I get that I don't get now via HB, CB & CG, and DH at DN?

To be fair, I agree with this. The quality of the writing doesn't bother me. But what I've read in the free articles and the stuff posted on CB by TBS guys and from what I remember of CBII, there is no analysis. I don't trust the analysis. So what good is the info? If we're recruiting a guy in California, why do I care? OK, yeah I get it. He's the most amazing recruit we've ever seen. But so were the last 100 guys. Where's the value in getting the extra recruiting info if it's all like that?

You find out about recruits before you do anywhere else, you get more info on recruits than anywhere else, you hear about their verbal committment to BYU there usually before anywhere else. Some view that as having value.
That is their mission. Things like grammatical content, "objectivity", and so on and so forth isn't their primary concern, nor should it be. Most intelligent people understand what TBS is about and appreciate that they're at least transparent enough to understand what angle they're coming from when they write their articles. That said, they are not nearly as pro-BYU and given to wild hyperbole about their recruits as Jay seems hell-bent on claiming. In fact, I would say that Jay's anti-TBS bias is far worse than TBS's pro-BYU bias. |

I personally prefer commentators who can occasionly express dismay over the state of things.
You know, a bare modicum of intellectual honesty. HBArnett in many ways is also a joke, but at least he is occasionally honest. |

TBS info wrong
Quote:
I'm guessing Talo got his info from the family, or someone real close to the players and didn't check or totally disregarding conflicting information. Finally, despite actual physical damage being done by the player(s) seems to think that there was a good from this incident because the two players banded together, no one was left behind, just like they learned in their football lessons. Totally rediculous spin. |
