That’s some hard hitting reporting right there Drew. SMH.

 

[froglash88]

He just wants to put TCU and arrest in the same headline. What an embarrassment the FWST has become.

I would assume that anyone who really cares about a specific person's social media posts most likely follows that specific person on social media and doesn't need a newspaper "journalist" to write a "story" about it.

Turp should have put his trust in Him a lot sooner. But better late than never.

drew better be glad this country has child labor laws because i am certain a 13-year old girl would be highly proficient at his style of "journalism"

We all should. Thanks for pointing that out. In the meantime since you don't know what really happened and whether or not he is really guilty, why not wait until then.

Actually they could replace hit butt with a Bot that costs about $25k to create and about $5 a year to operate - surprised honestly they don’t just use one instead of him since his journalistic style would easily be automatable

Could be he is using one and just putting his name on it

Don’t miss Drew’s follow up tomorrow as he mines Twitter to discover what Tanner Brock tweeted over the weekend in his hard hitting exposé: “Former TCU LB arrested for drug possession still on Twitter, his posts will shock you.” Or his Wednesday article titled, “Mama’s Pizza, the location of TCU’s NCAA violations is still making pizza, but you won’t believe what they’re using for toppings!” Of course weekend subscribers will get first dibs on his latest hot take, “Miss Molly’s and the brothel that once operated just miles from TCU’s campus.”

Don’t get the paper but are these twitter stories actually in the paper?

Believe they are online content only. I’ve never seen them in my local paper....’course I don’t remember seeing my local paper run stories about twitter online either...

bet for half that moose would let his daughter source tweets for them.

heck she already attends more events and knows more about tcu sports than their collective sports department,.....which makes her incredibly over qualified

Miss Molly's? Do tell, have any personal stories? And most importantly, is it still there?

Why is this link on our board?

I have a thumb, google, and a twitter account. If I care what the startlegram thinks, or KT tweeted I’m capable of finding out myself without having to scroll past this chaff.

It’s a B&B in the stockyards, but back when the city earned the moniker “where the west begins” it was so much more.

I’m actually surprised Turpin kept it together as long as he did. He comes from a very rough situation and his buddies are poison. His friends seemed to stay with him in Fort Worth too often. When you keep trouble around you, it eventually catches up to you. He needs better role models and an escape from his buddies.

In other news, I had lunch today.

 

[tcudoc]

The "h" in him is not capitalized, so I am curious who Turpin is putting his trust in. Probably, "him" refers to his attorney, I suspect. I hope he got the Texas Hammer.

Boykin and Casey were in that same mold. Loaded with talent but background and immaturity was too much for them.

How about an actual article on Turp with some actual quotes after actually interviewing him???
