So Doyel doesn't like Dakich
- Thread starter Brewskie
- Start date
I have a degree in journalism from IU and used to be sports editor of a daily newspaper. Sportswriters do need to be objective in regular articles, but they also are entitled to their opinions in columns.
In my opinion, Doyel is much more professional than Dakich because Dakich has poor grammar, a pitiful vocabulary and he goes on rants that aren't related to sports. He also interrupts people he is interviewing and we were taught not to do it in our journalism classes.
Admittedly my life isn’t consumed with Dakich as it seems to be with all of his critics. Lots of people posting here that seem obsessed with his every word, I have to assume they have nothing better to do than follow him on twitter or some other social media site and get worked up over what he says.
from what I’ve heard him say regarding IU basketball he seems to be spot on. But, like I said, My life doesn’t revolve around what he says and have no interest in following him around to hear his thoughts on a bunch of dumb political/social stuff. It sure seems like his critics sure spend a lot of time following him, as he probably laughs all the way to the bank.

what are you talking about? Cross country is cool as hell! You're out running 5-10Ks at a pace that only about 1% or less of the population can run: that's cool! Also the oldest and most basic sport, with very little needed in the way of gear or other training: anyone could be a cross country runner! I don't know why any school doesn't admit all the kids they can to cross country teams and encourage it. I think it would be great to have dozens or even hundreds of kids running during the season at practices. You say we only have 7 spots so only that many travel to away meets but everyone runs in practice and home meets; at least the small ones. Would do our kids a world of good! Cross country kids usually are better students too than many of the other sports teams too, so not always, but generally good influences.
whatever.
what kind of loser targets kids on air or on social media?
Lincoln said it best: any man can get thru adversity; give a man power and you'll see what he's made of.
a lot of us have seen what DD is made of.
DD has gone full shock jock/cult of DD personality. he isn't what you say anymore.
Uh, I’m not defending anything he said. It wouldn’t matter what he said if no one paid attention. I’m doing my part.
edit: I wasn’t aware of the things that he has said that were posted in this thread. Bringing attention to them (despite how despicably they may be), will only help DD. In other words, while this thread and the Doyle article are harshly critical of him, they just bring him new viewers. It helps him.

Too bad he self destructed. He was one of ESPN’s best color commentators at one point adding insight and the inner workings of the game. I think Doyle’s article was pretty much spot on.
Kent Sterling hired Dan Dakich. He said that one thing Dan is, is interesting. Kent said, "You can't be boring on the radio". I listen to DD's show regularly. It keeps me linked to the state of Indiana while being away in Pennsylvania. He is very interesting.
He's 100% a liar and a bully. He goes too far with the Benbow lady. I'm glad someone called him on it.
Although I will say that Doyel was one of Dakich's biggest enablers for a long, long time. I stopped listening to Dan years ago and my life got infinitely better.

Kent also hired Bob Kravitz and Eddie White and said the exact same thing about them. And their show was one of the worst ever put on the airwaves.
I wouldn't count Kent as an expert on radio or radio content, either.

you know when someone says something like that, they are a fat slob who can't run a step further than their refrigerator.
Actually, as I said, XC kids are generally good students, so I'd imagine that's a fairly common double up!
about 5 8 weighing about 79 lbs. would be average for a xc runner, when I was in school. didn't really have much use for them on the football field or basketball court. decent guys to hang out with though split a case of beer with one, they would be drunk after a beer or 2 at most.
One of my favorite practices, we were doing timed mile repeats and we ran around the football practice field and the fat slobs therein. They were running routes right next to our course, so in the middle of our run, I timed it and cut in, picked off the pass and cut back to our course and kept going with most of the receivers trying in vain to chase me down. That lasted about 50 yeards. I was 5'8 and 125 my junior year, 5'10" and 140 my senior and now 6'3" and 195. Get back to your beer and glory day stories. Is it possible to make yourself look dumber sober?
excellent question.
In the meantime, we've all been wondering if you're this guy.
would assume he died a long time ago, so no, he did have some decent qualities thoughexcellent question.

You are a dumbass if you believe that
They do. They let anyone run. Nobody is cut until sectionals.
Not the HS I went to. You had to make the team. But, it was one of the top programs nationally.
do they have coaches? would be the best job in the world, hey kid take off here and run as long as you can, I will see you tomorrow
Yeah, you need to focus. Wings are way better than Dakich or Doyel and God forbid both of those nimrod.
You're on the right path...
lol ..
No, I'm mostly a vegetarian (still eat fish) ... if anything I'm too skinny.
Don't listen to slack jawed hilljacks they tend to be too stupid to speak.
No, but I did love to run. Hate that I can't anymore and still dream about a good run every once in awhile.
