Ok.....Ken, I know you read these forums religiously and that's ok. I must say however that I've backed you relentlessly over the past three years but I must say that as a fellow media writer (as half-arsed as I may be), I humbly join in with those who think you are wayyyyyyyyyyyy over using certain terms in your reports....the most glaring ones which come to mind are "launching the leather", "carrying the leather", "trey" etc, etc.....seriously Ken, it's now to the point that this obsession with these terms are tainting what otherwise could be good reports....
My brother who is a seasoned reporter taught me to always make my reports in the simplest of terms so as to attract the interest of the reader who may not understand the subject...and Ken, a reader who is new to football is not going to know what a "trey" is......call it what it is!........a field goal!......educate the reader!
Sorry Ken....you had me in your corner for the longest time, but man, you are pushing it!
Seriously, as soon as I read "Trey" or "Leather", I just groan now and move on to the next report.
You're a reporter, not a columnist.....just report the facts and I will read your stuff always....
Having said that, I do enjoy your special humourous features you sometimes run as I find them very creative....
Amen. I never thought I'd say it Ken after your inept handling of the Bulldogs but you actually have a lot of insight into the game. Try using English in its simplest form and kill the alliterations. They make your articles unreadable in spite of the good info you have to share
Meh. As long as I liked it, that's all that matters.
Stick and stones....
PS-If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Tsk, tsk. And you're a Grandfather! Who you trying to impress, fleminggirl? You got the hots for her?
Nawww.....I still like Ken and believe he's a good reporter...but I just want him to tone it down with the confusing terms as they are serving no purpose now and do nothing to educate the newest fans.....and are boring the rest of us mostly....
However, I'll never bring into question Ken's love for this city or the Tiger-Cats........he's clearly one of us and deserves some extra chances...
Ken!.....no more "leather" or "trey" !!...... and then you're gold! :lol:
and for the record, I don't for a moment believe this person is actually Ken Peters.....and neither should anyone else.
I take this post with a grain of salt and totally dismiss it as a "crank"...
"Creepy" is someone hiding behind a "username" and taking "cheap-shots" to somehow impress other members......even some of my better "detractors and/or "adversaries"" on this site are at least known in person......as am I.
Hey Espo, I've been around for a long time, you don't remember me on the old chat? I 've just been biding my time on the new chat format and thought I would just help out my buddy Mikey!
