Judge and No Jury Show

[Rasputin_Vol]

Jimmy Hyams just got personally attacked and told that he is still mad about being scooped on the black jerseys. Granted, it was an unfair attack because it was surrounding his reporting of Janzen Jackson's suspension, but man, I've never heard him taking it like this.

Hyams is still pissed we got rid of Fulmer. He was always defending him no matter what he did and does not like change. Plus, I think him and some other good ole boy TN area media is pissed that Kiffin kept the black jerseys a secret from them. If he can make negative comments towards Kiffin and company, then he should be able to accept the criticism himself.

You mean to tell me that Hyams - who lives to judge, critique, criticize, belittle, make fun of anything that has to do with the UT football team, it's coaches, it's athletes and sports in general was himself judged and criticized???

How is this even possible? Should we call commish Slive on Jimmy's behalf?

I for one am terribly offended ---not.

Like my grandma used to say "What's good for the goose"

Sorry, can't dig up any empathy for Jimmy. He cried about the Black Jersey Scoop and journalistically he did a terrible job of sourcing out the story outside of Official Channels and then complained about it for a week. Verrrrrrrry Weak Journalism if you can even call it that.

Just my opinion.

i thought the caller was out of line. the caller suggesting that hyams was trying to get back at the ut staff for not giving him the scoop on the black unis by breaking the story on janzen jackson's suspension IMO is ludicrous. with that being said, hyams better be right about his reporting on jackson's suspension or he will receive backlash from volnation the likes he probably has never seen/heard. i like listening to hyams and respect him, but would join the hyams bashing crowd on this issue if he is wrong. the caller made one good point though , this will hurt jackson. whether the story is true or not , there will be a perception of jackson that he willl have to work hard and stay out of trouble to remedy.

Jimmy Hyams deserves to be called out for his yellow form of "journalism."

He, along with the Mike Griffith's of the world, needs to realize it is not all about them and their agendas.

They also need to realize this town will be a much better place when hackjobs of "journalists" like themselves are ran out on the next Greyhound out of Magnolia.

Hyams has been saying that JJ failed a drug test. totally wrong and irresponsible on his part.

If he is wrong about the failed drug test, Jimmy is going to get hammered and Kiffin will really blackball him at the press conferences.

Hyams: I do not think they (the Vol coaching staff) will offer Cam Newton.

I thought Newton already committed to Miss. St?

^^ This is my opinion too. S###'s WEAK! Call Slive is my favorite part... Lol

Maybe he could go cover ETSU football!

Other than making one call to Mike Hamilton, Hyams did nothing to find out about the black jerseys. Every coach, every player, every manager, every trainer, every girl friend, most of the parents, most of the students, probably a fourth of the fan base knew we were wearing black jerseys and Jimmy was still reporting absolutely no chance we wear black jerseys. " Does Jimmy know any coaches, any players, managers - heck does he even know anybody in Knoxville who would talk to him and give him a scoop the next time something happens at UT.

I know technically it is his job - but apparently he is out of the loop somewhat now that Phil is gone so he gets mad and pouts a lot if he doesn't get the scoop. We all know that he's not going to work and investigate to get a story. He made his one call to an official source and that was good enough for Jimmy and it should be good enough for us as well.

Does he even live in Tennessee or is he still living and reporting from La. and occasionally making a call to an Official source in Tn?

Hyams doesn't follow recruiting very well. People that ask him about recruiting don't have Internet and get their news from News & Notes.

This is what kind of got lost in the whole kerfluffle. Jimmy's response (and Griffs defense) both mentioned how he went through the proper channels. This was the only news to me; I didn't know that journalism had proper channels.
