Can someone tell me why Jean-Jacques Taylor is still on the DMN payroll?

Who the fuck does this guy thing he is? What does he do for that newspaper?

Heres a quote from some article he had about "glue guys"

"Here's my vote for the local glue guys:

Cowboys: Bradie James
Rangers: Marlon Byrd
Stars: Stephan Robidas
Mavs: Jason Kidd"

Before anything, nice length for your explanation for why you picked these guys... You know, its good you didn't just throw out names and not backing up what you said... Its not basic journalism or anything....

First of all, the fuck is he talking about glue guys for?

Second of all, Marlon Byrd being the Rangers glue guy? Um no?

Jason Kidd is the Mavericks glue guy? Does that mean every NBA point guard is their respective teams "glue guy"?

I am just so fucking thankful for everything he contributes to...

Today on the DMN blog?

"The addition of Shawn Marion is good. The loss of Marcin Gortat and Brandon Bass is bad.
The Mavs have improved, but not enough to make a difference in the Western Conference."

Thanks chief, the shit you bring to the table is so good it just makes me want more and more... OMG, please give me more.

NO, fuck that, what is this shit that he throws out there? I could contribute more with my fucking head up someones twat than he does.

He throws out the obvious, and then just screws it all up somehow.

No wonder the newspapers are in such deep shit, they have these guys that work for them.

Rangers' glue guy?

Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really shit, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham.

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

It means

you want to huff glue when watching them.

As far as JJT goes, the sad truth is there isn’t a single competent columnist for what used to be one of the better sports sections in the country (20+ years ago).

miles, quick question...

What’s happening with your Indians? Would you consider Kerry Wood the biggest disappointment for the Tribe?

Also, what are your thoughts on the owner, Rachel Phelps?

Haha,

Where would you get the impression I even care about the Indians? The only thing I liked about the Indians was Mark Derosa and he’s gone…

We see the tribe shirt you wear

because you are too PWhipped to wear a Rangers shirt.

Oh don't

There’s some delectable irony in saying Frog-Taylor sucks because he points out the obvious.

I did get a chuckle out of his half-assed impersonation of Jason whitlock the other day about Marty B & the Black Olympics imbroglio.

Ironic that miles would be

by jcAustin on Jul 17, 2009 8:40 AM CDT up reply actions

Also, fwiw...

Marlon Byrd has been pretty widely credited with being a leader and positive clubhouse influence. So him being named as a “glue guy” makes sense.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 16, 2009 6:46 PM CDT reply actions

I guess he is the one that picks what rap song they listen to that night

but, if I was going to pick a glue guy on the Rangers I think I would have to say it was MY, I mean, as much as he gets dogged on here, it sounds like he is as respected as any other guy in this league with the reaction he gets from his fellow players, Marlon seems like he is just the loudest and everyone just goes with it. And again this is all just BS guessing on all of our part Jason Grilli could be the glue guy for all we know
