Never really minded Kyle. Sounds like he’s had a rough go in life lately. Hope he finds whatever it is he’s looking for in life!

Agreed.

Wish him luck in his life, and that he can find a happier place to be in for himself, and for others around him.

i will miss his 2010 hipster vibe

Gotta be an exhausting profession. Non stop phone and social media use. So much misinformation and never ending rumors. I don’t blame the guy. Good luck.

People complain a lot about the media, but these guys have to sit there and ask the obvious questions over and over again. There are only so many questions to ask at NFL press conferences. Anyone here would be asking the very same ones.

The pressers are probably the easy part. Getting info, sources you can trust, then you got fans wishing death on you for a sports article or sports tweet. We live in an insane world. When it comes to careers… That’s one I’d never wanna do in a zillion years.

I always enjoyed listening to Kyle Meinke and Justin Rodgers when they were on MLive together. Them with Killer was peak Lions writing.

If memory serves, we can also thank Kyle for the “sit up straight” press conference. He basically exposed Patricia before Patricia exposed himself. Not counting the whole Galveston fiasco…

I thought it was Michael Rothstein, ESPN reporter.

All the best Kyle. Hope you find the happiness and work-life balance that you deserve.

You are right, I thought I remembered reading it was Meinke at one time.

Rothstein is a classy professional. The exact opposite of Kyle. He is the worst beat reporter to ever cover the Lions.

What specifically did Meinke do to deserve the status of “worst beat reporter ever”?

He knows absolutely nothing about sports. Has never played real sports. And is an arrogant goofball. I can assure you that every single player and coach thinks he is a clown. He epitomizes every thing wrong with “men” today. This shouldn’t even need to be explained.

So nothing specific then? It just comes across like a very old man ranting about change.

Sad.

What part about him knowing absolutely nothing about sports isn’t specific enough for you? I’m probably younger than you :laughing:
