If I didn’t know for a fact that DJ Foster (the writer of this edition of grades) was most definitely a clipper fan first and foremost. I have no idea why clipperblog tends to be so negative.

Which is why I was disappointed when there were new writers at Clips nation. I like having a consistent voice to a blog, but I think it’s worked out well here. Clipperblog just changed everything and KA never writes anymore. Their audio recaps are kind of strange too, it is a BLOG right?

So much, actually. It was almost even with CN for me at the time. I thought, “This Steve guy writes pretty well, and so does this Kevin guy. Steve’s writing is usually more interesting because he goes on fun tangents every once in a while, but Kevin also has really great insight about the game and always sounds well-researched. Plus, they both use impeccable spelling and grammar, and that’s awesome.”

Now, as CN adds more writers who have their own styles and methods, and still continue to use correct spelling/grammar, I watch CB just go downhill. I cannot stress how annoying it is to have 4 run-on sentences in a row—-you can’t just keep saying “and” and “but” until you’re done talking. Then there’s the aforementioned negativity (which honestly isn’t that bad) it’s just that when it’s combined with poor writing, my OCD takes hold, and I can’t take it anymore.

(Side note: When I commented about the run-ons, one of the writers replied that some important writer said never to use semicolons. I’m pretty sure that writer didn’t mean to use run-ons instead. NERD-RAGE.)
