Danny Lopez just got added...

To my shit list.

While I dislike Collin for being a complete and utter dickwad (read the article for actual comments from the guy on the red cards), Danny Lopez just took it to a whole nother level. I DARE you, Danny, to step foot into the Supporters Section now…you’re a marked man sir…a marked man.

what problem do you have with his article

He said collin had a girls name. Had some quotes from him on being boo’ed. Dynamo defended their ass off. A quote from Kinnear. Pretty basic and simple game summary in general. Am I missing something? Is there a different article?

Maybe I misread the tone...

And after re-reading it I can definitely see he wasn’t being obnoxious intentionally. Apparently he just is by nature, go figure. My apologies to Danny for jumping to conclusions.

It wasn't what I would call a very professional cloumn

I didn’t see anything as negative or combative though. Just though I was missing something

Maybe???

Perhaps Lopez just finished a gonzo journalism assigment about Eric Cartman; ergo, like method acting, perhaps he’s a method journalist detoxing from Cartman’s style.
