Lv-Bills Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 The person who posted the initial comment had some points. I wasn't as aggravated as he was, but there's no reason someone can't voice an opinion on his "article" just like everyone voices their opinion on someone like Mort's jab at Buffalo. Weak. JW's a big boy, he can see constructive criticism.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Perhaps the OP deleted it because he found he was mis-informed.
Coach Tuesday Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I deleted it myself, I was not aware that the article was intended to be a "teaser" and would be supplemented later.
dave mcbride Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I deleted it myself, I was not aware that the article was intended to be a "teaser" and would be supplemented later. ... which probably means that this thread should itself be deleted.
Lv-Bills Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 I deleted it myself, I was not aware that the article was intended to be a "teaser" and would be supplemented later. Oh, that makes sense. Even at that though, what's the point of a teaser? Did there really need to be a teaser about the Bills backup QB who spoke to the press today? It's already posted on BB.com. Another longer article could have already been posted by now. I'm not sure how sound a decision it is to constantly hurry up and put something out there (this doesn't necessarily pertain to only JW), especially in this case. In the long run, if people don't know it's a teaser, they'll quit reading your stuff, because they think nothing will really ever be in there. I thought you had a valid point, although I didn't read the article until after you said something.

I thought you had a valid point, although I didn't read the article until after you said something. I agree with your points, but I didn't want to start a mob directed at Mr. Warrow (especially since my thread was based on an incorrect assumption), so I went ahead and removed it.

Their stories get picked up by other news organizations, so they need to file teasers first and then fill in more detail. Just the nature of the 24/7 news business.

And JW didn't do anything wrong at all. But, is it really needed for a Bills backup QB? A longer story could already be done, and he would still be the first one to report it. It's not JW, it's just media reporting in general these days.....ugh.
Lori Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Correct, I understand that. And JW didn't do anything wrong at all. But, is it really needed for a Bills backup QB?

I'm genuinely curious: how long does it take you to transcribe 10 minutes of audio?

Right now, he's the backup and the starter, along with the other two. I believe he's also the only one to addres the media. So I'm guesing Gailey penciled him as the front runner.
Lv-Bills Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 I'm genuinely curious: how long does it take you to transcribe 10 minutes of audio? Not sure, but I would think a story could be written in three hours. I mean, I can do much much more at my job in three hours, than write a story on trent Edwards speaking for nine minutes. And yes, I worked for the Pittsburgh Trib Review growing up. Mostly agate, never wrote anything, but cmon.
Delete This Account Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 what did i do, now? jw note: am working on longer piece on Edwards, which got pushed back by second-round of interviews and an update on Eric Wood, which i just finished filing a light version and longer version.

Mostly agate, never wrote anything, but cmon. While other interviews and press conferences were going on? Media will be allowed to shoot b-roll of workouts in the Fieldhouse from approximately 8:00-9:30 AM and 11:30 AM-1:00 PM. Selected players will be made available to the media by the Media Relations staff at various times throughout the availability sessions in the Fieldhouse and Head Coach Chan Gailey will address the media at 1:00 PM. If you plan on covering the early morning session, please report to the Buffalo Bills Media Room in the Administrative Building by 7:45 AM. For the second session, please report to the Media Room by 11:15 AM and you will be escorted into the Fieldhouse.
HurlyBurly51 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 umm. ok. jw I am continually amazed at the level some people go to to criticize others. Do they really need that to make themselves feel better?
thebug Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 what did i do, now? jw note: am working on longer piece on Edwards, which got pushed back by second-round of interviews and an update on Eric Wood, which i just finished filing a light version and longer version. Stop doggin' it and get your work done. A liquid lunch is not an excuse.

Just a misunderstanding on the flash/writethrough idea.
DrDawkinstein Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Not sure, but I would think... and thats where you went wrong...
Deep2Moulds46 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 umm. ok. jw John, you're out of your league here. The guy stood around and watched other people write at the Pittsburgh Trib Review. He's clearly qualified to criticize your ability.
