Who the fuck is Alex Raskin  
Sneakers O'toole : 8/3/2012 3:48 pm : link
and why should anyone care what he thinks about this, or anything else?
Who's Alex Raskin?  
GIANTSr01 : 8/3/2012 3:48 pm : link
Does he realize the award is to recognize last year's star?
I am

I just started following him the other day because he's at camp. clearly he knows not what he's doing.

I'm trying to assign the BBI Curse to him instead of Eli though.... since you know, he cluelessly talked trash about it.

bigblueviator: @alexraskinNYC @rvacchianonydn its an annual thing at camp. carries a curse with it. now may Raskin be cursed from now on 4 the trash talk
I imagine that's his point.  
shepherdsam : 8/3/2012 3:51 pm : link

Not sure why he doesn't see this as being the most feasible time for a bunch of fans to present a player with the trophy.
I agree with him. I'll take one of these please.

Hi..my name is Alex...and I'm an ass! - ( New Window )
Thanks T-bone  
Moondwg : 8/3/2012 3:54 pm : link
you know what to do, fellas. . .
His boss should probably tell him  
Sneakers O'toole : 8/3/2012 3:57 pm : link
that if he's going to cover the Giants, making fun of a large contingent of their fans probably isn't the smartest business model. I mean, to a thinking person that would be self evident, but the world needs Alex Raskins.............for some reason.
Its not even remotely funny or witty  
bonablue : 8/3/2012 4:01 pm : link
and it displays a complete lack of thinking...Twitter is dangerous because it allows people to spew forth nonsense with little barrier of time to contemplate thier words. Who is this idiot anyway? Never heard of him before today.
here it comes!!!

Alex Raskin ‏@alexraskinNYC
@MP_Trey Wow, wasn't trying to dismiss the BBI crowd at all. Just thought it was a long time to wait to present a 2011 award.
Someone should present Alex with a shovel

Damn. Have some consideration and forethought Assking.
Here comes the spin...  
okiegiant : 8/3/2012 4:03 pm : link
maybe he should get the all info before he makes a comment.

Oh wait, that would take common sense, wouldn't it?
He probably  
Matt in SGS : 8/3/2012 4:03 pm : link
should have done his research on who/what BBI is and that this award has been given for several years now and it's always happened at camp. He knows now.
okie  
Moondwg : 8/3/2012 4:04 pm : link
why should he do that. He's just a "journalist" after all.
He quasi-apologized, so mabe we can move on to the next

mass-hysteria topic?

@alexraskinNYC @RVacchianoNYDN Someone should present you with a clue. Maybe you don't insult fans of the beat you're on.
im just kidding  
bigblueviator : 8/3/2012 4:08 pm : link
i did tweet him to tell him that it was an annual award ceremony that carried a curse. figured if there was any way to transfer that curse to him instead of Eli -- that would be the best way for him to help the team.
Good lord...  
Chris in Philly : 8/3/2012 4:09 pm : link
He was just commenting on the 2011 part. Settle down, nancies.

It doesn't bother me, really...  
okiegiant : 8/3/2012 4:11 pm : link
but like Moondwg said he's "supposed" to be a journalist.

So instead of trying to be the first to twit(tweet, twat)somenting maybe he should ask what the trophy is for and what the deal is. You know, gather some freakin' facts before you wow the world with your wit?

Perhaps a tad harsh...  
Jan in DC : 8/3/2012 4:12 pm : link
I'll admit.
a tad harsh  
bigblueviator : 8/3/2012 4:13 pm : link
would have been using the c word
I can only assume..  
Jan in DC : 8/3/2012 4:14 pm : link
you mean "clue".
Hehehe,  
shepherdsam : 8/3/2012 4:14 pm : link
this guy doesn't get why this is happening now, so some of you guys decide to show him your asses.

This place is the greatest.
MURDER!

DEATH!!

shep  
Moondwg : 8/3/2012 4:16 pm : link
I don't care that much, but he didn't just ask for why we do it now, he chose to find fault in a snarky way.
Chill, people  
Dubs : 8/3/2012 4:16 pm : link
I responded to Alex from the BBI Twitter to explain why the trophy is presented during camp.

This is so not a big deal.
.  
bigblueviator : 8/3/2012 4:16 pm : link
BigBlueInteract: @alexraskinNYC No worries, Alex. We present it during camp because it provides the most logical central meeting point for BBIers nationwide.
His point is why present a 2011 award at 2012 training camp...  
Giantfan in skinland : 8/3/2012 4:18 pm : link
I just don't think it takes a genius to figure out that fans don't have access to players except for at camp. So either a) he didn't know what BBI was or b) just didn't take 2 seconds to think about his own question.

Crime against humanity? No. Display of a bit of stupidity? You betcha.
Just tweeted him as well & told him to check before making  
TheMick7 : 8/3/2012 4:19 pm : link
an instantaneous response. I told him this has been a tradition for some years now! As was said,if you're covering the Giants,get some info on the best online Giants site & what they do before you make an asinine comment!

Chris in Philly : 8/3/2012 4:19 pm : link
Moon,  
shepherdsam : 8/3/2012 4:19 pm : link
yeah I do get that but still, you know there are people here that are going to show this guy a small sample of what we laugh at daily.
We should just send him a link  
Moondwg : 8/3/2012 4:20 pm : link
to bonablue's thread. That should last him a decade.
Right, it would've taken just a moment to find out why...  
okiegiant : 8/3/2012 4:20 pm : link
instead he throws out the "witty" comment.

Thats all I was saying.

Chris in Philly : 8/3/2012 4:21 pm : link
Seriously, he looksl ike a dude who pops his collar  
Moondwg : 8/3/2012 4:22 pm : link
at the bar or club. Can't expect him to do much actual reading.

bigblueviator : 8/3/2012 4:22 pm : link
alexraskinNYC: @BigBlueInteract Thanks BBI. Makes sense.
"at the end of the day"  
bigblueviator : 8/3/2012 4:23 pm : link
i knew this had potential to be a funny thread
He must of talked to Ralph who told him not  
TheMick7 : 8/3/2012 4:24 pm : link
to fuck with us! lol
Yes, I can totally see Ralph warning him.

Phil in LA : 8/3/2012 4:29 pm : link
the Giants finished playing in February. Was BBI supposed to bump the mayor and hand it to them at City Hall? Absolutely fucking stupid, and these fans go to camp and do this every year and this shit is new to the beat. What a fucking moron.
