The LAT Finally Jumps Back Into OJ Payogate

Yeah, right. You bought that one?
As you know, after Yahoo! Sports scooped everyone (including the LAT) on the OJ Payo story, the Times wrote a short summary of the story on Wednesday.
There was nothing in the paper, including no mention from Slimers, Crowe or Timmeh's biggest fan, Chrissy Dufresne, Thursday about the story, even while it was exploding across the net.
It's Friday and the LAT actually mentioned the story (and Bruinsnation--yeah!) in the generally unfunny Morning Briefing column today.
On BruinsNation.com: "Yahoo! Sports: Tim Floyd Gave Cash to OJ Mayo."On ConquestChronicles.com: "Yahoo Sports Continues Their Vendetta Against USC."
Partisan politics are alive and well in Los Angeles.
That's the extent of LAT's follow-up to its brief mention of the story on Wednesday.
By the way, exactly how stupid are the writers at the LAT? The BruinsNation headline is not "partisan" or biased. It simply states what the Yahoo! Sports story reported. The Trojan headline is clearly biased, not to mention whiny ("Vendetta against USC*"). Oh, those poor victims over at South Central. They have it so rough as they commute to their walled-in fortress, er, campus in their luxury mobiles.
Anyway, bashing the Times for its bias is like shooting fish in a barrel. At least BN got a mention.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

A quick note
One thing we don’t want to do is attack any other SBN blogs/frontpage bloggers. We don’t want to see that. It is perfectly all right to talk about the Trojans, their fanbase, but no need to attack other blogs/bloggers who also belong to this network. Barnes I edited your post accordingly.
It doesn’t matter what others blogs do to BN or any BN frontpagers personally, we don’t need to do that.
Let’s keep the focus on the story not the silly inter blog sideshows. Keep the good stuff coming!

Sorry about that
More than anything, I was excited about BN being mentioned in the Times.
But your point is noted and understood.

Actually
I kind of like the morning briefing. It is the only part of the Times’ Sports section worth reading.
I read that in the paper and chuckled because it seems universally accepted now that BN is the blog of choice for UCLA alums/fans. Kind of cool . . .

Maybe their comment to partisan politics being alive and well
was more a reflection of their own paper’s partisanship than anything else

Somewhat off-topic
Does anyone know when/why he became Mike Penner again?

According to Wikipedia
…by way of a Kansas City paper, he—or she—began writing under MIke Penner again in October 2008. No reason given.
I didn’t even catch that. Interesting.
