did you read the original post?

that quote was not the only part he used, that was just the most noticeable

as stated in the original post

contained some clear similarities to the Reilly piece about legendary U.S. college basketball coach and broadcaster Al McGuire published in the Sept. 18, 2000, edition of Sports Illustrated.

The most striking was a passage in Reilly's piece

If he had only used that one part i would likely agree with you.


I did. The article states:

The Province is ending the column written by TEAM 1040 AM sports talk-show host David Pratt after he admitted to plagiarizing some portions of a Sports Illustrated piece written by well-known writer Rick Reilly.

The Province only identifies one portion of that article as bearing a "most striking" similarity, and does not claim that Pratt plagiarized from a number of different sources.

In any event, this doesn't change what I said in my earlier post.

Funny how you talk about being "unoriginal" when you come across as a stereotypical EMO CDC poster with YOUR shameful attempt to capitalize on the death of the Bourdon Tragedy this past week.

Is anyone surprised by this? Look up "hackneyed" http://daveprattsrant.blogspot.com/

Additionally, his apology is as hollow as when someone says, "I'm sorry you feel that way..."

Seems like an overblown reaction, which suggests the employer was already looking for a way to dump his sorry ass.


I agree with your assessment.

This may be the first time that has happened...! smile.gif

Has anybody else noticed a bit of a love afair with Cole recently in the media. The morning guys on the team 1040 have been saying how great he has been as well.

Maybe he will do the radio broadcasts. ohmy.gif

Damn, I was hoping this topic would be about HOW TERRIBLE BOB COLE IS AT ANNOUNCING HOCKEY GAMES. I watched the game tonight on NBC, couldn't stand another minute of his senile favoritism. Retire already you goon.

Well, in that case, I suppose "Ignorance is bliss."

CREDIT goes to the person that first (1st) wrote that. rolleyes.gif

He is free to get a second chance wherever he can find someone who will pay him to wright a column. Bertuzzi has found several teams willing to give him a chance, perhaps Pratt will do the same.


MY biggest concern with this incident is that it might be a setback towards David (BIG DADDY) Pratt's well-deserved induction into the BC Sports Hall of Fame, Order of British Columbia and Order of Canada!

This whole thing is about integrity. The Newspapers and Pratts. If some of you can't understand it then there is no reason to try to explain about something you know nothing of.

WELL...TO BE HONEST WITH YOU...
I WAS BLOWN AWAY...BY HIS USE OF ALL CAPS IN HIS BLOG WRITINGS...THOSE PERIODS...IN SUCCESSION...ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...
AS AN ASIDE...I THINK I'VE SEEN THAT WRITING STYLE BEFORE...
SINCE IT'S BEEN FASHIONABLE...ON YOUR CANUCKS CENTRAL...TO PLAY TRIBUTE TO FALLEN HEROES...
I THINK AS A TRIBUTE AND A BIT OF SOLIDARITY...(WE MIGHT NOT LIKE OR AGREE WITH EACH OTHER)...FOR HIS SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SPORTS BROADCASTING LANDSCAPE OF CANADIANA...I AM FOLLOWING IN HIS TYPINGS...WILL YOU TOO...WILL YOU...
IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE HOKEY...BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ALL DO TO PAY TRIBUTE TO A SPORTS BROADCASTING LEGEND THAT HAD HIS WRITINGS TAKEN AWAY...BEFORE HE HAD THE CHANCE TO ESTABLISH HIMSELF AS A LEGENDARY FIGURE IN PRINT MEDIA TOO...
HERE'S TO A GREAT MAN THAT INFORMS AND ENTERTAIN US WITH HIS DAILY RANTS...

That is it.

Even though it is difficult to emission The Province and integrity having anything in common.
