Patrick Kennedy

What are you coming to his defense for? There is nothing interesting/newsworthy about an incorrect online roster that is never correct to begin with.

fans have wondered for like 2 years if/when PK would leave. he literally alluded to it in an interview last week.

if you don't think him not being listed on the roster is 'interesting' you're lying to yourself.

if Alex Facundo wasn't listed on PSU roster this morning, would that not be 'interesting'?

and idk what you mean by rosters 'are never correct'. can you name another error in America?

does Pat have a hard on for Iowa? 100%. does Pat tweet stuff prematurely? absolutely. but how are you saying it's 'not interesting' ?

anyway, it's not my issue. im just giving my 2 cents.

You don’t think there is another “error” on a wrestling roster any where in America? That’s delusional. And again, a simple call to confirm a fact is all that was needed. But I get it - first to report and if you get 33% right who cares about your misses?

The hawks social media made a post about it. And where is this interview that he alluded to leaving?

Well as mentioned Iowa listing the rather rotund Sam Stoll as our 215 pounder was an error, despite being hilarious.

The reason Mineo isn’t considered an actual journalist is because he is a click bait hack without journalistic integrity. An actual journalist that had legitimate interest in the sport, would’ve at least attempted to investigate. I mean why not reach out to the university? That doesn’t seem difficult.

"never right" is opposite of 'there's probably an error somewhere if you look hard enough.'

i didn't say it was accurate or responsible or what a 'journalist' would do. i'm saying PK was, in fact, not listed on the roster.
 
i couldn't care less who on here likes and dislikes pat mineo. i spend an inordinate amount of time defending myself on here ffs.

if i were Hawk fans, i'd hate him too. he clearly pokes you guys and the program.

that being said, i call it like i see it while you want everyone burned at the stake.

he didn't say 'patrick kennedy is gone,' he said 'patrick kennedy is no longer listed on the roster'

which is (even at this moment) accurate.

if that were the case with Rocco Welsh or Alex Facundo i'm sure wrestling fans would find that interesting too.
 
Here’s the thing any good journalist would pick up a phone and call coach Brands before posting it or let PK lost it if true. He’s not the only one missing off the roster and a couple of weights are wrong as well. He’s the only 74lber listed on the upcoming duals for January. Does that mean Nelson is done or will not wrestle at all in January? What about 184 it only has Gabe listed at 184 for duals in January does that mean Ferrari will not wrestle in January?? Assuming something with out knowing facts is well you know how

You think if you actually called Brands out on it he would give you an answer about whether he on the roster or not? Cmon man Tom won't speak butkiss on anything within that room so that would be a huge waste to call him

Yes if he was the only omission given the fact he’s not in the starting line up and wasn’t last season either.

Kennedy is not the only omission. Starter the past 2 seasons. Currently starting and not surprisingly competing for a spot like many others around the country.

You're right - just report BS. And yes, I think if a wrestler left the squad you would be able to get an answer.

So instead of investigating to confirm any facts he rushed to post the news? This is exactly what is wrong with journalism today and why people have become so skeptical. There is no defense - he was wrong and acted in a manner that we have come to expect.
Agree 100% but this dork isn't a journalist. Sounds to me like he's nothing more than a washed-up former HS wrestler who never accomplished much and now is a professional troll who's obsessed with the Iowa program, probably because our coaches and wrestlers are the types who would've been shoving him in lockers and giving him swirlies.

Were you going for the ubiquitous "you" there or was that meant specifically to me? I don't want anyone burned at the stake. Mineo has his place and I am happy he is there. He makes all of those that do your type of work look that much better....

I just simply find it interesting that when his name comes up on here, it seems you are more than willing to swoop in and put in a good word for him.
 
not sure what you mean by 'good word'. my initial post in this thread explain why i thought he was silly to run with it.

that being said, i can certainly see why, all things considered, it played out the way it did and why people were interested in it.

i think the only other time i 'put in a good word' for him was when i said there's probably some legs to the Richie Figs thing.

feel free to cite anything i posted that isn't true.
 
calling Mineo a journalist is like calling Jeffery Dahmer a foodie.... for God's sake Mineo does absolutely NOTHING positive when he passes on unfounded rumors and innuendos about the Hawkeyes. I dont mind Smalls and find his information usually on path and pretty solid... Mineo has let more people down then Dollar store condoms

umm... sir. How many times was that?

Guy is a clown and if he tweeted .01 percent about Nebraska/PSU as he does Iowa, you’d hate him too.
 
i mean, in his defense, the roster didn't, in fact, list PK. unfortunate that it was him. but it is news/interesting that a guy locked in a roster battle isn't listed on the roster.
Shouldn’t a journalist inquire why?

nobody’s saying its not interesting but a monkey can post what they see but a journalist should inquire about the Who, What, Where, When and Why? You see the difference?

Mineo isn't a journalist and doesn't even claim to be one himself. Why are you holding him to journalistic standards? What he posted was factually true (PK is still not listed on the roster for whatever IT glitchy reason). It was also a sensationalized clickbait nothingburger. It also fails to hold up to any journalistic standards. It was also written by a person who is an internet troll, not a journalist. The best solution is to just ignore him if you're only looking for sourced material and/or real stories.

You are lying to yourself if you think it's interesting. I'd wager that the majority of rosters have clerical errors that are not updated constantly.

How much time do you have? No reason to make this about you, nor try to dupe us into believing your B.S. We all know you and Pat drink out of the same bottle.
