I got to south carolina, ive been to some of garcia’s parties, and i know for a fact he had a party in his hotel room. It wasn’t the night before the game though, it was 3 nights before the game and there were only two girls in his room, none of which were naked. Garcia is nothing more than a true college student who is talented at football. If he could just as much effort into football as he does partying he’d be one of the better quarterbacks in the nation. To bad nobody knows if that’s ever gonna happen.

Why wouldn’t you? It’s about as factual as your article.

And for the record, I truly enjoy this site and what it offers, I was just suggesting that there be some accountability for what people write. Sorry if anyone’s offended.

I personally like “Ocelot’s girlfriend may have slept with a stranger.” I think I’ll use that one.

Yes, let’s all relax and let everyone just post anything and everything as news.

Here’s a few headlines:

“Florida Dawg’s girlfriend may have slept with a stranger.”

“Florida Dawg’s credit may be poor.”

“Ealey may be off the team for a criminal offense.”

“Meyer might have left Florida after cheating on wife with custodian.”

See how that works? If I want to read tabloid sites, I’ll do that.

Sorry if I expect a people who claim to be writers to act like writers. I want stories to have some truth and not based on something someone’s friend who knows someone who once went to a bar and watched a game be the source. I’ve got no qualms with reporting on news, but to throw a cheap, lazy headline out like that, and to just run with it based on one site that has no reputation as being accurate or fair is just piss poor work.

If this site wants to operate as a rumor mill, cool, but if they want to provide “insightful discussion and commentary,” then they should do something insightful, not lazy.

I guess I should be like you and have no standards.

@ocelot:

Good grief – how about we relax a little bit..

Look, Garcia got a little nasty, did some serious boozing, maybe a little hard drugs… He also probably ate a couple dozen krispy kremes. The guy can do it all.

“Whether it’s true or not, it is something to talk about in the off-season. I personally have a hard time believing this garbage..”

You personally have a hard time, do you? As do I. So, if I were to write a story about this, I wouldn’t have it with such a sensational title. Because from the article’s title, it sure does imply that you believe it.

Way to cover the “news.” From one site, with no, real, credible sources, you lead off with a title leading the reader to believe it’s true. Bravo, Mr. Journalism.

Can you tell us more about this website, about Chuck Oliver? Can you? I bet you dollars to donuts you can’t. That’s shoddy work on your part.
