I thought everything today involved politics! And ESPN owned everything! And Rodgers was told what to say before he said it! It was scripted just like the WWE. And it was funny to most people until Karen complained about it and they said it wasn’t politically correct so Rodgers couldn’t be on his show anymore!
Isn’t that the entire point of what lebatard said and what this thread is all about?
He’s being paid to publicize stuff and generate arguments to create interest. Edey may be a household name on this board. But you would be shocked at how little others who are not Boilermaker fans know about him despite him being the player of the year.
I challenge each of you that argue and doubt me to go to your local Walmart and ask 59 people who was one of the 5 all American basketball players. I doubt if you go to the west Lafayette Walmart, they would know anybody besides Edey, if you lived in Florida, I doubt anybody would really know anything about Edey other than he’s really tall.
I just told you what this guy was trying to do and what he’s all about. When Rush first started his radio show , it was not about politics. However, politics eventually took over the theme of his show. His show was amusing before it became political. Keith obermann was once one of the most intelligent sportscasters until he started including politics as part of his sports casts.
The media used to be a much better place until everything had a political twist to it. And you critisize me for including a political slant to my reply? Isn’t that what we are supposed to be like today? How many songs are we going to play before the tip off? It used to be just one.
This is a Purdue sports forum site! So why do we have a political forum as part of it? Can someone answer that for me? Do we really need a political forum as part of a sports related site? I guess when posters here are not arguing about Purdue sports and calling other posters names, they feel the need to argue about politics rather than go to a political related site? When I google Purdue sports I didn’t realize google would take me to a site that has political discussions!
And you critisize me? I was just trying to fit in with the rest of you who love to argue about politics! I’m just providing you a mirror!
Dan Le batard did his job. He got people talking about Edey and also increased viewership to his podcast . He knew exactly what he was doing and how many people would share his words! His readership probably doubled!
Can Jim Rome be far behind? Don’t Hannity and Carlson do the exact same thing? I’m not talking politics! I didn’t express one political viewpoint! What I’m talking about is modern marketing and journalism!
Argue with me all you want. It creates views and longer threads and more hits! Maybe I’m being paid to stir the pot and make posters her so mad at me that they will open this thread and then return tommorow to read the following comments! Drawing attention to myself? Or drawing attention to this website?
Click click click click. It’s all about the clicks.

Without clicks there would be no site! Keep the clicks coming! That’s what the advertisers and rivals wants.
