So Doyel doesn't like Dakich

Doyel was here in Charlotte before Indy. I didn't like his style, but I did think he was a pretty talented writer, although one that often I felt allowed his personal opinions and attitudes influence too much of what he wrote. But, when I've read his stories over the last year or so, I did feel like I noticed less of his old moodiness. I don't see enough of it to make a judgement, but I did have that thought.
Yeah, he's still prone to that. He had a running vendetta against Carson Wentz from early on last Colts season, once it got out that Wentz had opted to not get vaccinated. It went far beyond the eventual decline in performance that led to him getting traded after one season. It seemed unusually personal, like Carson had slept with his girlfriend kind of nasty personal. All over a vaccine. That many others on the team opted out of, including Gregg's good buddy, Darius Leonard. It was all really strange. He also has it out for Myles Turner, too, which is equally as odd. Yet, he really does write some great human interest stuff.

One thing seems pretty obvious to me....Dan is about to become the next Jason Whitlock. I really use to enjoy JW and even still follow him on Twitter. However, as he kept shooting himself in the foot and moving from job to job, he's slowly sunk to where he is now. Basically preaching from his internet pulpit and being about as two faced as can be. Dan is following right along in his footsteps. A shame really, at one point not too long ago, I really felt like both had some interesting points of view....now, not so much.

Dakich is fine. He’s a blow hard at times, but it’s par for the course. Doyle is a dweeb who knows next to nothing about basketball. Some Indiana fans don’t like Dakich because he’s a meany and hurts their feelings.
ha What? Most dislike him because he's a self serving curmudgeon who likes to blame others for all of his own failures.....which the list is lengthy. To that, being an angry troll is always going to be disparaged by society which is why some, like me, didn't even know he was still in radio.

That’s so silly. I stopped listening to Dan when he threatened to get an intern fired. He preaches being a tough guy then blocks anyone who disagrees with him. He’s a liar and he’s a bully. It’s about time he got called out for it.
Doyle sucks and writing something about Dakich will actually get people to read his article. Its clickbait. It’s one blowhard crying about another blowhard. They’ll both bitch about the other and enjoy getting the extras eyeballs.
 
Reminds me of what Henry Kissinger said about the Iran/Iraq war back in the 80s: it's a pity they can't both lose.

Doyal has skills as a writer. A number of his articles were extremely well written.

He also seems to enjoy fixating on a person or a symbol for his abuse and riding hard.

Sanctimonious....
 
You could say that depending on where you sit in these discussions. Definitely right wing. I personally would not consider fringe right wing Qanon, etc. They definitely support Trump, but Dakich himself calls trump a pig all the time.

I listen occasionally for “know your enemy” purposes only. I consider myself moderate at this point. Think Bill Maher
Maher is a good analogy. I see him as three on the left to right scale while I would be a four.
 
Why do you admire speaking their mind when it involves lying, bullying, and name calling? Even with kids..,
Dan doesn't knowingly lie any more than any of us do. He might be mistaken. But he admits it ie questioning whether or not a 10 yr old girl was actually raped,taken to Indiana and given an abortion. He admitted he was wrong. Usually when he gets animated is when people attack him. Just today on his Outkick show he said he was raised to defend himself. Now should he refrain from name calling? I can buy that. But Dan's personality won't let him.
 
Dan is not a smart guy. I've listened pretty regularly over the years and he has more dead air time than anyone I've ever heard. He's either reading while stalling and mumbling or is somehow distracted. Makes me almost crash my car when he starts rambling on something like "well, that's what it is. Because it is what it is. And now you know. Because well, you know. I know too. Because everybody knows. And well, it is what it is."

So calling a specific teenager a meth head is ok with you? How do you possibly knows if he lies or not? Why am I not surprised you listen to Outkick? Lol .

What is wrong with Outkick? Dan said he never called any specific person a meth head. He was making a general rant about Scottsburg folks.
And that’s your problem. You believe Dan. He called the son of the coach a meth head. He has had to have tapes erased multiple times for allegations. Romeo’s dad threatened to sue him, as did a UK player… Blueett maybe, for his lies.
 
The other day I told my wife, "Babe, I'd get in the pool with you". She says, "Van, what in the world are you talking about?" I said, "It has to do with Dan Dakich getting in trouble because he said he would not get in a pool with a female professor. So I figured I WOULD get in the pool with you.

I was reading the article wondering why Doyle had such a bone to pick with Dakich, then I saw the following copy and pasted paragraph and had a better understanding..."So insightful about basketball and the inner workings of a team, he now fancies himself a political talking head, adding a second daily show on a right-wing radio station that specializes in conspiracy theories, half-truths, outright lies and hate." Liberal left-wing Democrats hate conservative right-wing Republicans. FWIW, Scottsburg does have a bad reputation as a haven for heavy meth users so it doesn't surprise me he flippantly called the kid a "meth head". Doyle is guilty of publicly shaming Dakich for the sake of his own media ratings. He's stooping to the same low standards he's accusing Dakich of being guilty of. Controversy sells in today's media. Controversy is cutting edge and there is a fine line of decency easily crossed. I like Dakich. He's an IU man. Doyle isn't.

Dakich lied. He said he didn’t say it and was criticizing the Star about it. So they decided to fight back and actually play the tape. Liberal left wing Democrats hate conservative right wing Republicans? Really? Which side is planning on a Civil War?

Their public feud is pathetic, and every time someone goes at Dakich he seems to gain steam. I don’t know the ratings, but the fact that people take his business plan personally is just kind of weak. (lowest common denominator Jerry Springer)

If he gets fired from the radio, it will be to his benefit eventually. 1070 is a sinking ship.

Anyone know the two jokes he told?
I hope they keep acting like idiots. Maybe one of them will get fired. Maybe both!

He said, she said, they said, we said...tit for dat, how about that! No one should care. It's playground talk. Those days are behind us.

That was no insurrection. All I saw was a "leader" in a costumed, buffalo-horned headdress more interested in looking like a wanna-be tough guy for his updated profile pic on Facebook. It was nothing but a bunch of losers acting like they didn't know what to do once they got inside but to take selfies. "Look at me, I'm in the Capital Building where I'm not supposed to be!" Are those the ones you think are planning a Civil War? If so, "Batten down the hatches, Martha, and load the musket. Here comes two legged buffalo-man wearing war paint!"

Yeah, I know the Democrats are all about "mostly peaceful" demonstrations while Molotov cocktails burn businesses in the background. BTW, is that particular street reporter still collecting unemployment checks or is he living out of a tent in Portland now? Has he named his pet rat? Let me take a guess...Willard?

Sorry, but I was triggered by one of your own, this "zeke4ahs" guy and his "Civil War" comment. I always like to have the final word. It makes me feel like I won something, helping me sleep better at night knowing I finished on top.

Honestly your tired ass berating of everyone who doesn’t agree with you 100% is the most tired ass boring stuff I read on these boards
 
Doyel accomplished nothing with this article except bringing himself down further among his peers
It’s interesting the number of sports, media people who have commented on the article, most of them saying this has been Dan for years. Not exactly giving him ringing endorsements. He’s been picking fights with personalities for years, not a surprise he’s made a lot of enemies.
