Shout Out to Chris Walsh

  • Setting aside the bad situation from last night, I just wanted to say I appreicate the effort you show in getting us news. Things like actually getting out to the scene of the incident show how seriously you take your job. This board really appreciates you.

    One of the real good ones. When Lucky or the BOL staff made the hire, I didn't know a lot about him at that point. It's easy to say now - A Homerun Hire!!! Thanks to all....

    Maybe he was out at the bars when the incident broke out. I could see CW throwing down jager bombs at 2am on a Thursday.

  • I finally have a chance to respond to this thread - thank you for the nice compliments.

    Last night was I was actually finishing up all the changes to "100 Things Crimson Tide Fans Should Know & Do" and determined to get through it when all the tweets and messages started flying about an alleged shooting on The Strip and that there may be a player involved.

    There's not too many people you can call at 3 a.m. about a story, so grabbed my car keys. Apparently I just missed the police at the scene, but was able to talk with some people and continued to work on the story through the early morning hours. The more I looked into it, the more it was obvious that the rampant rumors of someone being shot were not true, which we made pretty clear on the site.

    So yes, it was an incredibly long night for me, but I'd rather have no shooting and trouble pinning down the specifics than a shooting and having the story.

    Oh, and I hate jagermesiter - nasty stuff.

    Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".
