Dennis Dodd + Prothro shot
- Thread starter MOBILE-BAMA
- Start date
You're right. That was a totally unnecessary comment and it didn't contribute to the article at all. The quality of journalism reflects the society we live in today. In journalism, as in the general population, education and couth went with Elvis. They left the building. I read the paper each day and I'm dismayed at the lack of quality writers. I've never seen the print media in such bad shape. Terrible spelling and grammer from so-called professionals. I think Dodd probably washed out of basketweaving, so he took journalism instead.
i just told him i hope his legs get broken, and maybe there won't be anyone around to help him. :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
I refuse to dignify that comment with a response, despite the urge to email and rant/rave at him. Obviously, the entire article was filled with sarcastic humor, but was Tyrone's horrific injury the only thing he could find to joke about for Alabama?? :conf2:
Totally classless. :frown:
Totally classless. :frown:
well, i wrote him and told him that if tyrone were my son, old dennis would need to hire a security detail.
i also wrote the editors to complain.
there's no excuse for this kind of writing at the expense of a kid.
i have to disagree with the notion that writing to complain about this kind of journalistic flotsam and jetsom somehow dignifies dodd's comments.
he's crossed a line of decency and he and his bosses need to be told.

He has crossed the line with that comment. Please show some class when you email them. We don't want to drop down to his level.
Send it to ABC 3340
Everybody should send this article to ABC3340 and other news stations. I sent a feed back to Dennis Dodd and told him that i think that he should resign because it makes no sense for a professional journalist to say anything like that. Don't they suppose to be professionals. Here is the link to ABC3340 to get in contact with them http://beta.abc3340.com/contact.hrb

He is a piece of crap.
this is what I wrote him: you also should try to directly email him @ ddodd@sportsline.com
""Dennis Dodd,
You are a piece of crap. And so are all the people in your family. If you have a family shame on you for bringing in kids that share your genetics, that is the last thing society needs is more trash like you. And if you have a wife shame on her. She should be put in prison for even touching you, you are human scum and someone needs to have you fired for the classless comments you make on your pathetic column. You and all the other journalist that write what you feel and never state facts need to resign. If you have to use other people's misfortunes as a selling tool to get your point across, proves that society is turning for the worse. You are a piece of crap and so are all the people who care about you.You make things worse.Thank you and that is my column.""
I got just a little upset.

I sent him a message...said he was not a good person to write such a thing. granted the adjectives i used to describe him were a little different
Those who can't coach write.
It is better to keep your mouth shut and look stupid than to open it and confirm suspicions.

If everyone is serious about what they wrote I don't know if I want you representing the University of Alabama. Show some restraint and intelligence when responding to something like this. By just flying off the handle everyone is feeding into the stereotype that leads to Dodd's type of remarks. And quotes like Nate's do no good because I do not think he specified which comments offended him so.crimsonnate said:
I just wrote this to cbs.sportsline.
I think Dennis Dodd's comment about Tyrone Prothro in his bowl breakdown was out of line. I really don't see why this website would publish that. It was uncalled for to make jokes about a young man who spent 3 weeks in the hospital with an injury received while playing a game that makes Dodd so much money. I think Tyrone deserves an apology. I think Dodd's readers deserve an apology. I really enjoyed this website until this morning. I am not so sensitive that I think my football program is beyond reproach or tasteful jokes, but his comment is neither of those things. It was petty and snide and just mean spirited. If Dodd's child were hurt...if it was YOUR child who broke his leg in such a horrific matter...would any of this be so funny? I hope CBS is proud to sign that man's paycheck.

What he said was a hurtful. Now what I said was just out of frustration, I just wanted to let him know how I felt. Besides he is nothing. Also, I just woke up and this just helped me wake up this morning. Do not take what I said out of context it is all in fun.C Earl said:
Please, for the love of God, do not write him with all of these awful comments. That just makes us look bad and doesn't get your point across anyway. Have some class about yourselves please!
My comments
Mr. Dodd,
Your comment about Tyrone Prothro was completely classless. I realize you have to make a pun in every sentence you write to verify to the rest of the world how smart you are, but you need to understand that this young man suffered a serious injury that put him in the hospital for three weeks. Why can't you just point out the offense vs. defense showdown instead of saying that? You might want to take a step back and think about whether or not you would have written that garbage if it was your child or friend that had been hurt. My guess ---probably not!

After all...
the replies, I decided not to read what he wrote (seldom do, anyway). Don't repeat his remarks here. Those who want to so can click the link. It'll come back to haunt him. Bama fans won't be the only ones to recognize repugnant remarks...

Dodd is a piece of work
Taking cheap shots at Prothro, what a piece of work or POS
Wish I wouldn't have clicked on the link, didn't need to see that today!
