It’s called a SOCIAL MEDIA SEPTIC TANK thread. What are we even doing right now complaining about linking bad tweets? :laugh:

If you think his views are "septic tank" like most of this forum does, I'm unsure why people want to keep propping him up. The more interactions with his content the more people are feeding the algorithms.

People on this forum who dislike his opinions actively go read his content which i think is hilarious. Not that I'm the least bit surprised but it is pretty comedic.

Complain about Charlie all you want but he's doing his job. The fact that you look at his content keeps him in business. Hot takes generate views.

If you guys actually think these people are morons you simply wouldn't post it but what do i know.

I'm not sure I've read more than a couple articles on his new website. It's not like I think he's a hot take artist or true dreck -- he's a good writer, I'll give him that. True dreck is guys like Kevin Kurz, his Athletic replacement. I just don't think Charlie has particularly good hockey opinions, and he's rather obnoxious about those opinions. I think he's more crude in his analytics usage than he thinks.

The entire point of this thread is to post tweets that make us guffaw or roll our eyes. Charlie isn't Baskow; most of our complaints with him are intellectual ones. I'm still scratching my head about what this conversation is about.

Charlie is picked on because we are watching in real-time as his views have turned to match the org's.

I don't expect anything resembling a coherent though from Sam C. or his adopted kids Jamey Baskow and Jordan Hall
He’s also picked on in here because he’s a pompous “know it all” who puts out statements in a daily basis that contradict other things that he has said.

Sounds familiar.

This thread was made specifically for that reason.

You don’t see posts from someone like Kevin Kurz because he provides absolutely no value to anyone on any level except those who think being loud and/or angry means being correct. He’s a Gallagher brother after 1997.

I might disagree with Baskow or pillow guy on almost everything, but they’re giant fans and just want to be happy.

I honestly think of Baskow and Jordan Hall as special needs kids. Happy in their own mind

I believe in Foerster but you just have to lol.

I do too, the part that really annoys me is that he is a kid who has never put up crazy goal totals at any other level.

The Flyers media types will blow him up for the next 2 years, he'll end up being a decent, useful player. But because the Authentics don't understand what you usually get out of late first round picks combined with the fact he will get over hyped for years, people will act like he is a bust when he ends up being like a middle 6/top 6 winger that puts up solid but unspectacular production.

They're so desperate to sell these kids to the fanbase that they spread total BS and its a huge disservice to the kids.

Can this guy stop? It’s a Saturday night.

Talk to me when it’s a Tuesday.

This is actually even funnier because I was at the game and it was embarrassingly quiet/small crowd. My partner and I haven’t been to a game since they lost to the bruins in the 2011 playoffs and we were so disappointed that we picked this one to take the kiddo to for his first game
