LatinD, somebody gave Manu a box of Alfajores, allegedly purchased at an Argentine Cafe in Austin…

I know that he loves Alfajores, I recall when I went to a game in NJ that there was another Argentine guy there talking to my dad and he told him that brought a box of Havannas for Manu

And can’t you just hear the condescension dripping off the “SA blogger?” If he’d had more than 140 characters to work with, he would have written, “Some local fanboy wielding a pilfered press credential showed up with an offering of baked goods for his idol. I kid you not, dear readers. As a TRUE journalist, I was horrified by that craven display. I won’t stoop to naming his blog, because I would hate to reward his unprofessional behavior with site hits.”

Dude, you’re tweeting. Drop the attitude.

I got caught up in reading all of the Twitter feeds – which is a reminder of why I don’t do generally follow Twitter – and my conclusion is that Dwyer and the others have giant sticks up their butts. Here at PtR we might go off-topic occasionally, but at least we’re not discussing Lamar and Khloe’s pre-nup. :)

Condescension? Arrogance? From the New York Times? No way. What a jack ass reporter. Any sportswriter can lob up a generic question that would make Pop vomit, it takes a dedicated blogger to know that the real way to get a scoop is to curry favor with Argentine baked goods.

Are you guys paying attention to all the crap Wayne’s getting from the "real media"? Check out shamsports’ Twitter (the only one that seems to have Wayne’s back), which links to the Twitter feeds of uptight journalists such us Kelly Dwyer.

Where the hell did this come from? What kind of objectivity does a Spurs blogger owe to the world?

K. I get it. If I am an oldtimer, I might not exactly appreciate a new guy breaking the norm on anything. Even if its only once. c’est la vie.

But, in this case, they fail to realize Wayne is not part of their brigade.
