Drew Sharp is an Idiot

by giggy09 on Dec 16, 2009 4:22 PM EST

Not because he thinks Detroit should trade Calvin Johnson. That can be argued both ways, with each side having valid points. This post isn't to discuss that topic, but more to talk about how possibly Detroit's most well-known sports writer is a complete moron. Check out his latest article on the team (link below), where he tells us how he thinks Detroit should trade CJ, yet doesn't provide any support for his reasoning. No potentially interested teams. No contract information. Nothing to support his argument. There are commentors on this site that make more valid points than he does, yet we're stuck reading his moronic columns day in and day out.

Even the blogs are starting to take notice, including this must read article from The Big Lead (sorry guys, not trying to spam the site. Just trying to support my opinion). They mention that their writers did more research than Sharp, who makes millions from the Detroit Free Press.

I guess I'm just venting and that's the real reason for this post. Having to go through each season watching a struggling team, it'd be nice to have access to, at the very least, average journalism. But this falls way short of that. I guess that's one of the reasons I spend so much time on POD. You guys are doing a great job. Keep it up and thanks for letting me blow off some steam. Peace.

Drew Sharp makes millions??

I find that hard to believe but your point(s) are duly noted. Truth be told I read DetNews. I like O’hara and those guys. Never have been a big fan of Sharp. Your post confirmed my suspicions that the dude was a douchbag

Read last year that he signed a 4-year deal with Detroit Free Press worth $1.2 million. Couldn’t believe it either. I’ll try to find the link and pass it on.

What???

That’s a LOT of money for a sports writer, particularly a sports writer in a financially depressed city. That is amazing!! I would love to read the article if you can find it giggy. Thanks!!

That was the other guy....whatsisname?

Made a dumb joke about Marinelli’s idiot son-in-law [who was also his Defensive Coordinator] and got shown the door. He did walk out on his own but he was suspended and quit before he was canned.

Drew Sharp is an absolute moron

How he and the Rob Parkers of the world manage to get on ESPN is beyond me.

That would be because ESPN sucks.

It’s turned from a sports channel to a garbage channel. Kind of like what happened to MTV. I watch sportscenter on occasion but with all the east coast bias and Favre butt love and shoddy journalism, I just look up stuff online. I mean any station that would hire he who shall not be named isn’t worth watching anyways. I was glad to see Peter Gammons move to the MLB channel.

+1

You can’t watch ESPN for 30 seconds without hearing the sportscasters verbally fellate Favre.

I unfortunately listened to a few minutes of Valenti and Sharp going on about their great plan.

No suggestion of who would make that trade [details, details] and then the guys they would draft will all turn out to be superstars of course. No busts for Mike the Genius.
They want Cody for our DT. Sorry, we do not need Shaun Rogers’ slower, fatter brother.

Drew Sharp is a hypocritcal idiot

All I’ve ever heard him talk about is “How great it is to be Lions free!” He hasn’t written a good column since I was in Jr. High (80’s)

I hate Drew Sharp, and he stole my idea!

I don't much about this Drew Sharp

I don’t read much Detroit press, apart from here of course. I do go to MLive every so often, but even then I don’t put much stock into what they write.
