metirish Old-Timey Member Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Can I just say , this is a great thread for the opinions it has generated, Harvey as a force for good.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 Weird, isn't it? I just thought it might be a good parking spot for empty-calorie Harvey celebrity stories during the season.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Matt Harvey is not the story!Uh, I like sports bars and name-brand suits, and explosions and trucks and stuff.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Wow, he really isn't the story.

ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 This is hilarious... mostly at Matt's expense...
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 It kind of figures that such a tremendous, easy-chafing dick would find himself accumulating so much cheese.

An empty-calorie story about Matt Harvey and his empty calories.

Harvey is a 25 and under conditioned by social media to announce every breath he takes and every fart he makes.
Guest d'Kong76 Guests Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Next week, hopefully Kathleen does a piece on what museums he likes to visit on Saturdays.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 I love that article, it's so funny.....
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Sometimes I can't find a place to park, and I have to drive around the neighborhood a little. That can be tricky. #ADaywithHarvey

It's not true, and all it does is deflect his own culpability. In fact he's not a "kid"; he's a jock who has apparently lived in a bubble of entitlement since he became a BMOC for giving swirlies to his middle school nerd classmates and then went out and won the "big game". We all know the type. We all went to school with guys like him; for all i know, some of us HERE were guys like him. Not all the rules of civilization apply to this kind of guy; when they suddenly do, he takes umbrage and acts, as Edgy quite rightly characterized it, petulantly. But here's the thing... I DON'T CARE. He can be fucking supermodels in pairs, flipping off fans, tweeting pictures of his dick, and living the high life all he wants, as long as he takes the ball every 5th day, puts up big numbers, and beats the Braves like a fucking gong. I don't have to like him. I just want him to be great and to help my team win. Is it nicer to root for a guy like David "Captain America" Wright? Yes, it's nicer. But it ain't a necessary condition of my support.Will all the gnashing of teeth over this drive him away in free agency? who can say? But I'd guess that the Wilpons economic circumstances at that time will have a hell of a lot more to do with it than whining fans. On a side note, i completely agree with Edgy's view of internet "journalism" which in my view is (as Hunter Thompson said of objective journalism) a pompous contradiction in terms. When journalism serves a societal function, it's because people can trust the news they are getting. That trust is borne out of professional standards, codes of conduct that journalists took seriously for centuries because they were potentially liable for libel if they didn't. Multiple sources, fact checking, attempts at balance, and consequences for failing to meet those standards. None of this exists with any consistency in the wild wild internettian west. People post rumors as if they were facts; they get reposted by aggregating sites without comment, they get referenced as support for subsequent reports denying the original reports, and its all an echo chamber of bullshit deafening everyone and drowning out real journalism in a deluge of unchecked facts, unverified quotes, unidentified sources. And then the professionals, increasingly irrelevant as professionalism is trumped by amateurism, rush to paddle over the same waterfall out of desperation to keep an audience and a job. But the jobs are going away; print is being swept into the dustbin of history, along with the standards of professionalism they maintained for generations. And we are abandoned to an unintelligible cacophony of contradicting and baseless white noise, all sound and fury signifying nothing more than our disinterest in distinguishing what is true from what is entertaining. If we were still living in a democracy, i'd be concerned. But for an oligarchy, we're right on schedule, because all they need to provide us with is bread and circuses.That's like a $5 million post.I'm still waiting for my check!
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Got to hand it to Harvey. I thought this thread was gonna be a lot more active.

ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Maybe the grind of a long season sucks some of the life out of someone on rehab...

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 You can put up all the links you want I'm still not going to read it.
Guest themetfairy Guests Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 You don't have to. I gave you the Reader's Digest version.
Ceetar Grand Central Contributor Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Matt was with Shannon Rusbuldt and others in a private karaoke room. Katy shouted hi to them and Matt got flustered or broke concentration or something. Just scathing stuff. Whoever ran to the press to report that tidbit has a bright career in journalism ahead of them.
seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I clicked it because I knew there would be a picture of Katy Perry, and pictures of Katy Perry are always worth a click.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Well if they're going to run pictures of that blonde I'll check things out.Katy Perry, on the other hand, does nothing for me.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Nothing? Come on FK. I can understand the music is not for everyone, but wow, she would be tough to take pass on if she were sending eyes your way.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Not only do I think she's not all that hot* but I get the opinion that there's an even bigger gap between her public 'face' and her un-made-up one than there is for your average celebrity. She always looks kind of plastic to me.As for talent, I haven't heard enough to form much of an opinion except to say that what I have heard sounds like tween-age pop fluff* and, yes, 'not hot' is a relative term here to the extent that if she were totally ugly she wouldn't be within a Giancarlo Stanton HR of show biz in the first place
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah, the problem isn't the person but all the paint on the person.
