Difference of opinion from you, GoS, Jeremy, is fine. But planted stuff from an employee of a company is a different situation. We see it all the time across the internet. XYZ corporation tries to infiltrate web sites, product reviews, etc.
Additionally, the commentary really isn't so much on the fact they do it. If I worked for the team in sales and promotion, I'd talk them up also. The relevant connection is how clumsily they approach it. It just confirms how dysfunctional things are over there, with such dysfunction also present in how they manage the player personnel and coaching/GM situations.
Just as the front office could be better structured and operated, the PR could as well. As I suggested to Duke two months ago, have Jim Paschke post on here direct, have a couple players sign up for accounts, offer up some exclusive content and access to the board, etc. We'd be eating out of their hands.
Heck, just look at Jason Wilde. He puts up four or five complimentary posts on the Packers board and half the crew is starstruck. All the Bucks have to do is win 50 games or show they have a good plan and we'll all be back to talking up the team here.
Yes I know it happens but I just have my doubts where it might happen on a site that might capture 100 people or so but I may be wrong. I was kind of commenting though on how people call the "plants" abusive when I think the door swings both ways. I find a lot of sporting blogs seem to turn to denigration rather that discussion and I find it disturbing. I do agree though that some posting here by Bucks individuals would be welcome
