Looks like he needs a “press” card inserted onto his top hat…then he can ask FDR what he’ll do about Pearl Harbor.

This can’t be real, it’s too ridiculous.

Early 90’s cut my wife and I off heading into an elavator to the skyboxes at Fenway. Missed the first few batters…..disapprove! Also, please go write a book about Tom Glavine, instead of putting him the column every Sunday.

Nick is the most boring TV reporter I have seen. He never offers new information and his columns are equallu innocuous.

My comment was meant for Bruce Allens piece and I have no clue how it ended up here.
I’m not in the business of judging other sportscasters or sportswriters.
I’m too busy trying to do my own job and don’t try to tell others how to do theirs.

A friend alerted me to your piece on the video tape story.I just finished reading it and in a word…..”BRILLIANT.”
I understand people will view me as pro-Belichik in this and that’s fine because I am.
Best regards,

This is one of those instances where I’m surprised by the extent of negative reviews. Although I can’t argue with much of this, I find Nick to be relatively benign. I know it’s a sad commentary on the state of local media when I’m voting thumbs up on a guy because he’s not doing any damage, but there it is.

My take on Nick; despite his biases, he reports facts and has a straight-forward writing style. He understands that he’s not the story. He does not engage in hateful, negative, agenda-driven reporting. Unlike Shaunessey or late-stage Borges, I will actually read his stuff when its a topic of interest. Not high standards I know, but there’s not much to choose from out there these days.
