I never said he reported stuff the SID told him not to. I was talking about against the wishes of the player, or even just reporting stuff based on what a player said, but in complete contradiction to what the situation actually is, when simply doing a little digging (in ethical terms, I believe it would be a big word called “corroboration”) would confirm the truth.
Once again, you literally know nothing about a situation, but as you always do, act as if you do know. You don’t. Hear no evil see no evil. Name a reporter that you know, personally, that can refute any of the things said about Loy’s reporting style. You never even had a subscription, and would just beg people for info on this site, and suddenly proclaimed Loy was the best simply because he wrote a lot of tweets or whatever stupid reason you came up with (when in reality, as you always do, you try to play the martyr to guys who get ripped for poor performance, which is what happened with Loy).
Unlike you, I don’t make shit up out of thin air, and I don’t talk about things that I don’t know about. I’ve known probably about 6 to 7 reporters that cover ND football (a couple no longer cover the team). To a man, they have great stories about Loy – and they aren’t flattering. I’ve told this one before. A couple of years ago I was helping a well-known ND reporter move to a place in Mishawaka. I get there, and he’s talking to Tony Alford on the phone. Apparently a no-name 3 star recruit in FL claimed on twitter that ND had offered him. Loy jumps on it, tweets out that he had a scoop that ND had a new offer out to a WR in FL, and that he’d have a full story soon on 24/7. So Alford calls my friend and asks him if he knows anything about this recruit and gets a run down of what of is going on, because Alford wasn’t even recruiting this kid. Long story short, my friend has to go online and post that his “sources” have told him that ND is not recruiting this WR and that in fact he does not have an offer.
There’s more (MANY more) stories than this about Loy, but why waste them on you? You won’t believe them anyway. Truth is, Loy works VERY hard, has some good sources, but is also one of those reporters that will do anything to get the story, and get the story first (sometimes whether he is right or wrong). He’s “slick” and untrustworthy, is what one person told me, and has earned a poor reputation on the beat – not out of jealousy but born from some of his actions.
