USA today links to Talk Tennis thread!!

[falstaff78]

This is a piece by Chris Chase about how McEnroe recanted on calling Nadal the greatest and annointed Federer instead. Mac made the quote after the Murray semi at Wimbledon.

If you look carefully the link he provides for McEnroe calling Nadal the goat is a talk tennis thread!!!!

The first para reads:

"In a move that was a little like the sun setting in the east, John McEnroe admitted he was wrong in saying Rafael Nadal was the best tennis player of all time. Roger Federer deserves that honor, the tennis great said on ESPN on Friday."

Haha!

#ChrisChase also authored an article "35 facts that prove Roger Federer is the greatest player ever", of which, half of his "facts" were summarily dismissed as not factual. It was discussed at length in this forum.

It's no surprise that a blog editor gets his "facts" from fan boys in a tennis forum and uses this forum as a backdrop to continue his obsession that "Roger is the greatest" by linking to McEnroe's article here. By linking his "facts", #Chris is clearly the #DrudgeReport of Tennis.

Sadly, #Chris doesn't even attempt to fact-check his blogs, nor does he embrace objective measures that serious journalists uphold. #BadBlogger #GoneGirl
