Deeper than Hate ESPN Write-up

[AppStMike201]

Pretty good read even though it leans in favor of The Stink...

Ryan McGee plagiarized a lot of that from my UDD piece in 2015 (and the revised version in 2019 that I ghostwrote)

I'll be very surprised if we don't have another closely contested nail biter. How could it be any other way?

You weren't kidding, he literally planarized parts of your story. I can't believe it he did that, seriously I really can't. I always thought that guy was very professional, that is some bs right there.

That is ridiculous. You should make sure everyone knows he stole your work. I’ve lost all respect I had for him after that.

I actually went onto espn.com and went to contact page and filed a complaint about this (included a link to Tdogs article). I never do stuff like that but this on really gets under my skin. Stealing an App State Alum's intellectual property is just wrong.

We are coming off a hard fought big win. GA south is coming off some losses. Inflated egos vs determined to ruin another season. Senior day distractions.... Armanti number retirement distraction.... You can all say that things like that aren't distracting, but they are. When we play GASouth it should be a black out and nothing else going on. Focus ONLY on them. This will be the true test for the team. Can the players get motivated? Can they be on their "A" game? Can coaches get them going? I have seen where my soccer team is just flat and nothing on earth will get them going. As much as I put things on the head coach, this will all be on the players. They MUST get up for this game and be ready for war. It's all or nothing right now. If their true goal is a SBC championship, then put up or shutup. It's as simple as that. Go out there prepared to make GASouth hurt on every play. Hit harder, run faster, and block stronger. No dropped INTs. No dropped passes. No INTs. No fumbles... It's easy for me to say and hard for them to do.... Have we really turned a corner or have we simply been riding a wave of adrenaline that runs out this game? Winning the SBC makes the bowl games that much better.....

Didn’t want to believe it at first. I kept saying, “well there’s gonna be a lot of overlap bcuz they’re talking about the same thing!” But no, multiple sentences pulled straight from your work.
And as much as I’ve like Ryan McGee’s work, that’s ESPN for ya.

Never heard another word from them. I showed the article to several people and everyone agrees it crossed the line.

Probably never will hear another word from them.

It still pisses me off that he can get away with it. We really should keep hounding ESPN until they do something about it.

ESPN is going to ignore it until a legal letter is sent by the original author's attorney.
