  • Dick of the Year

    Dick Harmon.

    24 hours removed from his article, I'm stunned he could think it was a respectable journalistic endeavor to write what he wrote.

    I have zero relation to the Nelson family. Never met a single person named Nelson in my life, in fact, that I can recall.

    If I were Tom, Bronco, et. al., I'd tell Dick to go pound sand for the rest of his career and give every scoop to Monson just to spite him for his colossal lack of journalistic discretion.

    Shame on you, Dick.

    Nelson, as a surname, is one of the most popular names in America. How the fuck have you not met a Nelson?

      Don't fool yourself, he's related to at least 10 Nelsons, all of them in positions of power and influence and all of whom have scarred him in deep, profound ways.

          I respectfully disagree. It is hard to get the real story out of BYU. The regular talk show guys, even the BYU ex guys like Olson are villified if they say anything critical of BYU. It is hard to label Harmon a BYU hater, so if he give us some info it has some credibility instead of just BYU spin like what comes from the "voice of the cougars".

          Note: If I were the voice of the cougars I would put out BYU spin too.

              Disappointing. I thought this thread was about something else.

                  I had a buddy in high school who was a wrestler. He wasn't a Nelson, but his mom was. We called him Half Nelson.

                      Harmons in a no-win situation. I think his article was fine. He should ha e stuck to his guns if the Nelson familg thing really happened. Hes in a catch 22. If he toes the company line, he gets called a homer. If he doesnt, he gets flamed for hurting the program.

                        You missed the point entirely. This has nothing to do with pro- or anti-BYU spin. I wouldn't have a problem at all with Dick acting like a real journalist and publishing some accurate and hard-hitting pieces from time to time, even if it reflected poorly on BYU. I would respect that. In fact, many of us were wondering why Dick did a vanishing act through the entire conference realignment process where he only rarely acknowledged the high stakes events that were going on and even then it was typically old news and full of spin. No, what Dick did here is a take a highly-personal piece of gossip and print it as news in a manner that was grossly unfair and prejudicial. He's a no-talent hack. Always has been.

                          Who thinks Viking would be this angry if Dick wrote something like this about Heaps family, I think he would be reveling in it and including it in his hate parade he's throwing for Heaps now that he's gone.

                            While I respect your opinions, I don't always agree with them. Even when you begin by letting me know I have missed the point. Perhaps I did miss your point. I think I will still survive and I guess so will Dick.
