The Media Is A Mess

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- 44 year ago, Marshall McLuhan wrote “The Medium is the Message”; these days, it’s oftentimes more like 'the media is a mess' especially for the social variety. Here are some good, bad and ugly examples:

-- The very first factoid in this piece from College Chalk Talk’s Secondary Break is an eye-opener for any Flyer fan and not in a good way:

-- Tom Markowski of The Detroit News says the leader in the clubhouse for Michigan Mr. Basketball is our man “Buckets”:

Despite Xavier fans’ claims to the contrary, Jalen Reynolds will not win the award this year.

-- Why doesn’t BG install this in-bounds play into the Flyer repertoire?

-- Providence recruit Ricardo Ledo recently backed off of his verbal commitment. As this excellent profile from the Projo details, the kid has been thru some serious sh*t in his 18 years:

Ledo is now on his 4th high school and just moved to my alma mater, Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, MA.

-- Bob Ryan tries to figure out whose game BYU superman Jimmer Fredette reminds him of the most and comes up with a pretty good comp in Scott Skiles:

-- TSN Mike provides us with reason #521 why internet bloggers should never print rumor, gossip or innuendo as fact:

-- Mississippi State basketball coach Rick Stansbury is about 6 months behind BG in prohibiting his players from using Twitter...and a day late and a dollar short in the case of his star hoopster, Renardo Sidney:

-- Meanwhile, across campus a certain Mississippi State football fan is the new poster child for why fans shouldn’t mess with recruiting prospects on Facebook:

-- How to dunk yourself:

-- Historic Hinkle Fieldhouse is set to receive $700,000 in preservation funds. I wonder…does that include the cost of replacing that busted water fountain?

-- How cool is this? Video games allow disabled athletes to play in the majors:

-- “The Sweet Tweet of the Week” comes to us from Gregg Doyel of CBS Sportsline while covering the Super Bowl media week circus in Big D:

“Never seen Jersey Shore. Don't know The Situation. But there's a douchebag in Ed Hardy pants on radio row. Bet it's him.”

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
