Why does he get paid to cover UT Football?

[GLDunlap]

Haven't bought a knoxville paper in years and for good reason. They are just to "professional" to figure it out. Dumbasses.

Many of us have walked away from that idiot long long ago.

I loved it when Fulmer banned his butt from covering our practices. It was a place where only professional sports journalists were welcome, so why should s**t stirrer JA be there?

P.S. I'm not clicking their link either; don't give em the satisfaction of their little bean count.

I haven't read a single John Adams article since I found VN in Aug 2009. It's just too bad it took me that long to find VN.

 

[what what]

He tries to stir the pot and create controversy. I saw the article, but I'm not paying to read it.

Finebaumish plus. It's a shame the editors support him going to the length of telling people to stay home because we lost to FL. Speaks volumes about KNS.

They support him because they think it brings in money. Call and cancel your subscription "due to printing John Adams' articles". If VN has as many followers as thought, it wouldn't take long for JohnBoy to be looking for another rag.

Everyone needs to get this some publicity within Knoxville! John Adams and KNS deserve to have their access to UT Football stripped.

he is entitled to his opinion.

Foolishly, and purely out of morbid curiosity, I clicked on the link. I thought I would read a typed column. Unfortunately, a video played. The one and only thing less tasteful than a John Adams video I have ever seen is a old movie called "Pink Flamingos".

I have an even better idea for John Adams; RETIRE ALREADY!

 

[D.C. Vol]

Probably because his stories still get clicks and reads

Exactly. He's easily Tennessee's most successful troll. K.N.S. will continue to value his services so long as this fan base continue to take his bait.

I can't believe wes ruckers name hasn't been brought up in this thread yet.

 

[ajvol01]

I don't know how you people in Knoxville don't ban together and boycott the KNS until that hack is fired!

Most of us already boycott. Cancelled my paper 2 years ago.

 

[TWVol]

I just wish I got paid for doing something that silly.

 

[Roustabout]

John Adams.
A face made for radio and a voice made for print media.

I have tried that but most of the negavols seem to like him. There are so many negavols on this site it is sickening.

 

[mrredskin]

i met him and his wife last week. his wife is a very nice lady. that's pretty much all i got out of it.

he is entitled to his opinion.

This opinion, expressed by a KNS writer, in that space, was over the line. It is ok to write a column that essentially says the team was awful on Saturday. But, he just crossed a line that would cause some programs to pull his media credential. As I posted earlier, think about what Spurrier's reaction would have been.

this is the problem,unless people stop clicking his articles,and posting them on forums ,they will keep him

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

Never seen him before. He looks like an idiot.

But all those games are better than UT vs. Chatt.

you should go see UT, simply because it very well could be one of the last few wins you'll get to see this season.

Wow, your deep, intellectual comments just gave me a reason to add another to my ignore list. It just keeps getting bigger with some of these Debbie Downers on here.

 

[AshG]

I have so many better things to do than spend time reading the Slantinel, especially with Adams on board. It's almost like the newspaper wants to suck. Chattanooga TFP is a much better read.

 

[Exiled]

I quit reading Adams a long time ago. I also quit listening to Travis and refuse to watch Finebaum. Makes for a much more enjoyable sports fan experience. JMO
