So You Hate You Some Justice?

I’d have straight up beat his ass.

But I don’ have a contract or a football organization to protect. Still can’t understand how dikie beat the chronicle layoffs.

I hate to sound rude, but I really don’t want to listen to LDJA12 talk.

DA tweeted, asking for questions. I know he got a couple of pretty nice ones.

I caught the end….they bet on the CSU vs Wyoming game. If CSU WINS DA gets to make a shirt including an"idiotic" quote from one of ldja12’s articles. I think somebody needs to send DA a copy of a certain photo essay for inspiration…“in depth” reporting was my favorite.

DA got to Justice. And quick.

Give it to Justice!

his job is to get people reading. Whether they hate him or love him, if you’re reading Justice and reacting to him then he’s doing his job. There are certain douches who just want page views or bought newspapers….so they’ll write crap.

However, DA is right. Newspaper reporting can and should be done both ways – with someone who researches the story to make sure there’s facts in them, who presents both sides of the story to give their reader a full argument rather than using the paper to spread your own agenda, and someone who has a connection to and respects the hometown teams enough to want to see them run right and well. You don’t need to kiss ass to make sure that the fans aren’t getting cheated out of their hard-earned money to support a poorly run team.

Justice has bias, is lazy, and doesn’t seem to have any connection to the Houston teams. Lance wants to say DA is bullying, but Justice needs it.

There’s a happy medium between McClain and Justice. We hate on McClain because he’s so soft; he’s a member of the Texans’ boys’ club and rarely offers any real insight that most of us haven’t already figured out—he’s lame for a beat reporter.

Justice is the opposite end of the spectrum. It seems like he gets mad at everyone any time they’re remotely optimistic. He says inflammatory crap, passes it off as fact because he’s so condescending, and then apparently when he gets called out for it, plays the “I’m just stirring the pot” card. I don’t buy it.

Any one of the regular posters I meet here or on a couple of the other websites I frequent could best both of these guys in giving a decent angle at reporting for the Texans.

Entitle it “Guaranteed facts as spoken by LDJA12” or “Amnesic musings of Richard Justice”

Then just let one person from BRB check out his postings then cut and paste them over here. We don’t want everybody going to the Chronicle to read it or he gets a lot of page hits, and that is what he wants.

Then it’ll be easy to keep track of what he thinks and when he changes his mind.

The Texans should not concern themselves with that ass-wipe or anybody for that matter.

He is a bad journalist. There are many subcomponents to this, but they all come back to that single point.

Is how much he flip flops and how he seems to be controversial just for the sake of being controversial. If I though there was any honest insight or criticism in there I would still read him, but I’m not going to give him the page views when he’s doing it just because he thinks it makes him edgy and might get him another gig on PTI. I’ve got zero problem with criticizing the Texans as long as it is honest criticism. Most of his seems driven from a personal feud like his ongoing Rick Smith drama, especially after his good buddy Dan Reilly got fired. Same thing there, there’s plenty to make a case against Rick Smith with, but he doesn’t do it. He talks about what an idiot Smith is for firing my buddy the best strength coach in the league. He doesn’t make a case for why Reilly is better than the new guy….he just whines and pouts. Taking up for your buddy is fine. Spending weeks writing about a story that nearly every media member/fan looked at once and then moved on is ridiculous. Justice repeatedly tells us what a jerk Smith is and how his ego is hurting this team, but won’t provide anything to back it up other than “trust me, I know people”. If he’s got info he’s not at liberty to discuss then he shouldn’t bring it up to hoard over us that he knows more than we do.

I do admit that Richard is likely doing his job just the way the Chronicle wants it, and for the majority of casual fans that’s fine. Doesn’t mean I don’t expect a little more.

I want the media to be hard on the local teams, but I expect them to do a better job of it than a 12 year old kid yelling you suck every time the Texans do something they don’t like. Maybe even a little actual reporting….you know dig up facts, make well thought arguments, point out the difference between facts and rumors, maybe even talk to some stat experts with new ways of measuring on field performance to provide a little insight. If only the Texans could find someone like that. Oh wait….that would be Steph.

Juvenile, petty and not really entertaining.

I do find it ironic though that a journalist was taking offense to being criticized when what he does ALL DAY EVERY DAY is issue criticism.

My gripe with him is low effort, I really don’t care what his take is on any particular issue, but if you have a job that get’s you access to the players and staff, why don’t you use it to do a little research once in a while. When guys on this board with little if any personal access to the players get more facts into their blog posts, why can’t LDJA12 get a few facts. As much as Doublestack bugs me, I atleast respect him for doing the work. I cant say the same of Justice.

DA is friggin hilarious.. I love the comment, “Richy just went from 6-12 talkin bout Casey Studdard” and LDJA12 takes it right “Yeah i have a picture of him with his shirt off, and Frank [Okam]”

and then when Richy is talking about Trevor Hobb, DA says, “YOU’RE NOT HERE TO KISS PEOPLE’S BUTTS RICHY, WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO WRITE ABOUT!”

It was nice to see LDJA12, after blowing up, calmed down. DA is just friggin hilarious. LDJA12 gets slight props!

and at first I thought they were joking around. Justice’s voice even cracked a little. Good for DA for calling the guy out for his douchebaggery.

DA goes to the Czech Republic… some funny stuff
