Mark Kiszla = Jay Mariotti?

[sirhcyennek81]

Just curious, but the more I read of either, leads me to believe they bone on a regular basis.


:Broncos:

[RhymesayersDU]

rofl, nice.

I hate Mariotti, he's a douche.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

So you're saying Kizla is a fag?

[Taco John]

There's no need to drag the good name of homosexuals into this...

[Clockwork Orange]

What's really sad is that Kiszla isn't even the worst writer in town. Bernie Lincicome makes Kiszla look like gold by comparison.

[Taco John]

Bernie Liniwhonow? ;)

[Clockwork Orange]

Bernie Liniwhonow? ;)

Exactly. If you've read one of his columns, you've read too many.

I miss Bob Kravitz more and more as time goes on.

[Taco John]

Nah... Linicome doesn't bother me so bad. I read him now and again. He's unremarkable.

I only read Kiszla articles when I'm tricked into it. I've avoided the guy for almost 5 years now.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Bernie Liniwhonow? ;)

The Rocky does have a sports page, people here should check it out occasionally.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

It was amazing how fast 560 dropped Kizla when he and Armstrong were rotating days and went with JA all the time in the morning.

[WyoLaw]

Heck, any more the RMN has better coverage than the Post. During the days of Adam Shefter the Post was by far and away the better paper, but now I think the RMN does as good of a job if not better.

[Clockwork Orange]

I never heard Kiszla on the radio, but I remember his act on the panel of some show they used to have on Fox Sports Rocky Mountain. He's even more painful to listen to than he is to read.

[BroncsRule]

Kiz is a douche. Jay gets propps for writing the best. Elway. article. ever.

[sirhcyennek81]

Kizsla just pisses me off. Negative little Biatch. I hated listening to him on FSN when he would do pregame shows.

:Broncos:

[NaptownChief]

I miss Bob Kravitz more and more as time goes on.


Krapitz has made damn few friends since he has been here in Indy. You could get him back with zero resistence.

[The Big E]

So you're saying Kizla is a fag?
I hear he likes show tunes.

[Clockwork Orange]

Really? He always came across to me as tough, but fair in his columns here. He would criticize, but he'd also give credit where it was due, so I generally enjoyed his work.

[DomCasual]

Kiszla is an idiot. I have said it before - all Kiszla does is summarize a simple point, and then writes about two paragraphs to support it. Then, he just restates the main point three or four times (followed each time by two or three "supporting paragraphs), and voila, he has what he calls a column. Seriously, almost every column he writes follows the same formula - it'll drive you crazy after you first recognize it. You want to punish yourself by reading his column? Just read the first three paragraphs, and you're pretty safe to assume nothing else will be said the rest of the way. And he tries to be controversial for controversy's sake, which makes almost everything he says lack credibility. He's completely worthless.

That being said, the worst columnist I have ever read (subjective, of course) is Bernie Lincicome. There is just something about his writing style that makes him unreadable to me. Part of it is that he's the master of the run-on sentence. He can write sentences that take up good-sized paragraphs - just drives me crazy. I used to email him with examples at least once a week, but he never responded. (Deep down inside, I know I have helped him. For that, I feel a sense of peace.)

I really liked Kravitz, and even pop over to the Indianapolis Star every now and again to see what he is saying. And from a Broncos perspective, I loved Adam Schefter - I never knew why some people on here disliked him so much. He was always on top of things with the team, and I liked his writing style. He did get a little out of control with his recipes and restaurant reviews, but they were only in his mailbag.

The best in town now (by a long shot), in my opinion, is Jeff Legwold.

[NaptownChief]

So far he has just come off in Indy as a drama queen looking for the most controversial angle possible on nearly everything. I love writers who are willing to challenge the status quo and not afraid to be a little politically incorrect and I even enjoy the occassional beating of something from a fairly negative perspective but that has been his only angle on nearly everything...and often times it seems he is throwing his back out reaching so much.

Shef's Departure is the reason I signed up here. I could no longer get any Bronco info out of Burger Bill. I didn't know what I was missing.

Dude, I would bet you have damn few friends, period. So your not liking him probably doesn't exactly make him a member of an exclusive club.

Not that there is anything wrong with that Nappy! j/k

I have plenty of friends but I must admit that I don't think I have any that open up sentences with "Dude..." or "Dude man...". You play nice and I might make you the first, Spicoli.

Dude, no thanks. I wouldn't fit in with someone as obviously cultured as you.

That's really strange because that wasn't his style when he wrote for the Rocky Mountain News. Oddly enough, that does sound eerily familiar to the guy who replaced him....Bernie Lincicome. Lincicome just finds the negative aspect of everything and pounds it to death.

[WyoLaw]

I know he doesn't covery Broncos football, but Terry Frei is the best writer in Denver...either the Post or the RMN.

[broncosteven]

Dom, I think he wants you to come over & Sing Oaklahoma with him.

[NaptownChief]

I'm guessing some of you know who Wabbit is personally but what I find funny is that I'm sure many don't and probably come on here bitching about him as a writer but busy kissing his arse while he is on here posting as Wabbit. ROFL!

[NaptownChief]

Only if you let him drive over in your daughter's cute little 3 series. ;D

[Meck77]

this is reading like a boob thread...Ha!

Are you feeling the love Mark? If I had to bet I'd say he lurks here.:wave:

That dude Telluride and Mark seem to have similar personalities...hmmm

It's getting 60k service today & a Detail. they gave me an M5 as a loner.

That loaner will have you wanting to buy an M5...they are pretty sweet.

[DomCasual]

Bernie?
Okay, I just realized you probably won't get that, my little red grammar-challenged friend. I thought it was ironic that I had just bashed on Bernie Lincicome for run-on sentences, and you go and unleash a run-on sentence for the ages. I seriously had to read it four or five times - the last with my super-secret decoder glasses - to even understand the basic concept of what you were trying to say.

Dude!

[broncosteven]

I like my wifes Durango better. More power & towing 3rd row seat, leather power same type of options. We looked at the M3 but it is a **** box & made in US. I like the agility of my "small" german made sedan. Next car will be a 5 series, in about 5 more years. Got to take care of College 1st.

[BroncsRule]

Adam is a pathetic little mench who wants to be a food critic when he grows up.

OTOH he was a workaholic who did bother to develop relationships with people inside the Broncos organization - so he did have the inside scoop from time to time. Burger Bill could take a clue.

I used to like Kravitz' "thoughts and musings for a Sunday morning".

[NaptownChief]

I seriously had to read it four or five times -



That is ok, I don't make fun of the mentally challenged. Even if it takes you ten times slowly through as long as you eventually grasp it, that is all this is important.

I think you're thinking about the X-series, aren't you? The M-series are the souped-up sedans, if I am not mistaken.

We got an X5 when they first came out, and didn't like it. Little things kept breaking on it - nothing major, but irritating nonetheless. For example, all four of the power windows broke in the down position at one point or another over the three years we had the car. Once, we were visiting family in Las Vegas and the drivers side window stuck down while we were getting food in a drive through. It was 115 degrees out. We drove around for two days with the window down, because it happened on a Friday night (of course) and the dealership couldn't get us in until Monday.

The X3 is just a silly-looking car, in my opinion. It reminds me of those Honda hatchbacks they used to make back in the 70's - the one Rosie Greer was driving from the backseat on the CHiPs episode.

[DomCasual]

I used to like Kravitz' "thoughts and musings for a Sunday morning".
No kidding. That was always the first thing I read in the Sunday paper. Jim Armstrong's notes column is okay, but I loved that from Kravitz.

You are correct sir. The Suv thing. I would love an M series.

[-Slap-]

Lincicome is an insufferable front runner. He was in Chicago when the Bulls were winning, and he used to talk trash like he was on the team.

[broncosteven]

No kidding. That was always the first thing I read in the Sunday paper. Jim Armstrong's notes column is okay, but I loved that from Kravitz.

I love JA's Notes because he always bashes the Cub. I am always forwarding his notes columns to my Cub fan friends, he does it so often they are starting to get pissed.

Correct, I was glad when he left town, Him & his puffy cheeks.

I agree. They're not very practical if you have kids to haul around, but they would be fun to drive - especially the convertible.

He has the smuggest (my own word) column picture in the history of column pictures.
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/images/columnists/r-bernie-lincicome.jpg
The Rocky Mountain News used to have a feature on their website where you could comment on columns. I swear, they discontinued it just because of the stuff that was left for Lincicome. My favorite on all-time was so simple, "You drink, don't you."

No way! He actually looks better in that pic than he did in Chitown. But that made me laugh out loud.

Just a Player getting his goose on!

[RodInCanton]

Alright, I usually don't post just getting my Broncos info from this site but I have to post on this topic. I absolutely refuse to read Kiszla columns anymore as all they do is piss me off. I'm sure he gets a hard-on in pissing people off and to me that's the definition of an a$$hole. Having to read his crap makes me look back w/ fond memories of when Woody Paige was writing columns for the Post. Kiszla should have been taking notes from Paige all those years to see what a quality journalist looks like...

[Taco John]

I like Woody, even though he called us "media bootlickers."

Plus, he's so pretty on TV. :D

That's kinda why I like Paige. He does get his smack talking in but he does it in a way that you have to laugh. Like the way he punked the 'Jagwads' a few years back. Kiszla just comes off as a douchebag...

[Taco John]

When did he say that?



It was a few years ago... He and everyone else were leading the charge saying that Mike Shanahan was going to leave the Broncos for Florida. I put a piece up on the front page saying that it would be out of character for Shanahan to do so. Woody later shot back that (paraphrase)despite what the media bootlickers will tell you, Shanahan was seriously considering leaving.(/paraphrase)
