Hammer away at the 'hammer' all you want. With humour, I do too, and I always have.

I have seen this same type of negativity in other forums where fans (or bloggers) make the effort to help keep us informed get attacked by their own. I don't get it.

I have two friends who started as sports bloggers who now are staff writers/commentators for major American networks. People were unfair, and people bully from the shadows.

Do you honestly believe that Dunk and Edwards have no sources? How many do they have that you and I do not? Are people who care about CFL football not to have opinions that may differ from our own?

I say bring it. I can take it with a grain of salt. Simply stop following if it is such consistent trash. Id call that affirmative action.
Never said that Edwards had no sources. He is paid as a legitimate writer, so I would hope he would. As I said, my issue was with his is his lack of objectivity. The way he went on after the Labour day game is what I called embarrassing.

And you have to admit, the story of Duron Carter playing his last game as a Rider was also embarrassing. The fact that 3DN nation can turn an individual's tweet into a major headline on their site is perhaps the most embarrassing thing of all. When Duron Carter tweeted about Zylstra getting a futures contract, that was the TOP HEADLINE on their site that day. it was a TWEET for God's sake.
