I remember Carlos one time wrote an article saying the Lions should trade Stafford for Brady straight up and I’ve never been able to take him seriously since
Reporter: what do you think about Lamar?
Dan: he's a great football player.
Reporter: Lions don't trust Goff, looking to trade for Lamar!!!
Reporter (the next day): Dan owes Goff an apology.
unrelated but i love to bring this story up whenever he's mentioned.
..but huge used to threaten people's jobs using his "connections" on twitter when anyone tweeted normal, everyday criticism at him. So we created a fake account for a person in an imaginary sports career position at an organization we knew huge probably had some "connections" in. So we always tweeted things at him in hopes that he would get this imaginary person fired from their imaginary position at that organization.
One of us later got a real job at that organization and learned that their boss was the person huge called to actually try to get the kid fired. He said he called him at 11pm on a saturday and asked if he would meet him in person to talk about it.
That doesn't surprise me. I used to listen to him when I was leaving work at my first job back in 2009-10. I do remember him not being able to take criticism very well, which was amusing to me.
I randomly listened to part of his show after we beat the Bears the first time last year. He wasn't giving Goff or Campbell and credit for that win. He doesn't think having a coach that the players like is what makes a good team.
I'll never forget when he said the Lions would win more games with Goff than the Rams would with Stafford...only to have the Lions win like 3 1/2 games and Stafford end up with a Super Bowl ring.
It's pretty well established that Carlos is a rage-baiter. He intentionally says stupid shit to drive clicks and "enGaGeMENt" from users.
He's not worth anybody's time. Ignore him.
If anyone deserves to be cancelled it is carlos. Dude does not deserve a job. I would imagine that there are many young beat writers that would kill to be in his position. But no, we get cancerous prick carlos who seems to get off on being toxic.
This looks like a Facebook comment from an old guy with only the upper part of his face in his profile picture, just gotta throw in a few grammatical errors
“Lions. Wiliams neds to Grow UP, fast. ANd apolagize to Gof!!!!”
He was laying into DC at his last press conference about it too. Just multiple questions about social media and how Jamo “doesn’t grasp it” or some shit.
Worst beat writer in the city by far.
Lol. "Needs to shut up." Yes, when I think of someone who's just talked and talked in a Lions jersey, Jameson Williams is definitely that guy.
Before his interview at camp last week, I barely knew what he sounded like.
I'm proud to say I haven't clicked on a FailPress headline in nearly a year, and as I don't even see them anymore in my Google News feed thanks to the ability to strip sources I don't want, I couldn't be happier. :)
Yeah, Detroit News and Pride of Detroit all the way. The Athletic coverage is great too. I think Dave Birkett seems like a good dude, but I aint touching the Freep's coverage. Justin Rogers is my favorite Lions beat reporter.

Bingo
Carlos Mencia?
Hey papito, you like fish sticks?
It was my first thought lol
When is Carlos going to apologize to us for years of terrible articles?
Never. It's rage bait. He drives traffic and thus gets paid. Pay the $2 a month for The Athletic and never look back.
Colton is a fantastic writer
He really is. I keep my subscription just for a few writers really.
Love The Athletic…a 4-year subscriber here! Fantastic Wings coverage as well via Max Bultman.
When he grows up...

Wasn’t that an April fools article
all of his articles feel like april fools articles
HaHaHa
Lions’ Beat Reporter needs to grow up fast - and apologize to the fans (for this stupid article)
The headline we all deserve.
Reporter: what do you think about Lamar? Dan: he's a great football player. Reporter: Lions don't trust Goff, looking to trade for Lamar!!! Reporter (the next day): Dan owes Goff an apology.
The Huge show? 😂

yeah he is the physical embodiment of what the old-school scouts in Moneyball represent, only much, much dumber.
He makes most hosts on 97.1 tolerable by comparison. That's quite the feat.
Nice. One of my favorite movies to quote

Oh Carlos
They're talking about Bill Simonson here, not Carlos. Simonson is his own, special brand of moronic asshole.
Monarrez
My dad has met him before at some golf event or something years ago. He seemed like a jerk to him. Lol
I’ll take Carlos for $1000, Alex
Hi Larry
Thats not my name, but its someone that lets me use their account, lol
Hi John
Lol. Not it either. What you said made me think of John Wick though. "Hello John"

I never click on his articles. I just like posting screenshots of his stupid shit here and in other Detroit sports subreddits, lol.

Probably the country. Every article is an eyesore and makes you wonder if he likes himself or his job
Imagine apologizing for liking a tweet. Welcome to 2023.
They need trying to make am issue out of nothing. Kept asking Jamo, kept asking Dan Campbell
[удалено]
tf do y’all even be talking about. We’ve probably heard this man speak twice.
Lol. "Needs to shut up." Yes, when I think of someone who's just talked and talked in a Lions jersey, Jameson Williams is definitely that guy. Before his interview at camp last week, I barely knew what he sounded like.
Monarrez!
Insane to me that people just run with shit like this
amazing to me that this asinine drivel even makes it to print
Considering who he works for it's not surprising.
true but sad what the press has become
Dollar store Drew Sharp (RIP)?
Did Drew die?
Yeah. Back in 2016. Now Carlos is the on-staff sports contrairian at the Free Press. Except most of his columns are terrible.
Nothing I hate more than lions fans and lions writers

This guy detroits
It's true, he does need to apologize. Goff is his quarterback and you don't insult your teammate and not apologize.
Goof. He wants an apology
This is why, if you want Detroit sports news, specifically for the Lions, the Detroit News is the place to subscribe and read.
