His Tom Thibodeau story this morning is a direct rip-off of a Bill Burt story from 2 weeks ago, right down to using Van Gundy quotes. Anyone who’s taking ideas from a hack like Burt gets a DISAPPROVE.

He usually puts out the 2nd most informative Pats articles next to Reiss. He gets brownie points for not screaming on TV or Radio. Approve

I have always been a fan of Christopher Gasper. One look at his angelic little face and it takes you back to the hundred acre wood and his friends Tigger, Pooh, Rabbit and good ol’ Eyore. I always wondered what had happened to him and I am glad to see he landed on his feet at the Globe.

He seems like a fine writer and seems to do a good and honest job.

Approve.

Funny how since Bruce started this site it seems like there are more and more good reporters covering the local teams.

Bradford, Couture, Reiss, Gasper, Benjamin et. al. there are actually people writing about my teams where I want to read what they say. It was not like this when I first found BSMW.

Mannix, Borges and others who got away with their trite lazy grudges for eons are gone.

Now if only WEEI and Shank would go away.

Chris is a minority, he’s a good sports reporter in Boston.

Anyone who doesn’t elevate themselves from a position of covering the story to a position of BEING the story (see: Massarotti, Shaughnessy, Tomase, Callahan, Dennis, Felger, Eddie Munster et al) gets an ‘APPROVE’ in my book. There are WAY too many ‘It’s-all-about-me’ sports media hacks, and we ought to recognize the ones who patiently and silently resist the urge to reach that level.

Nope.

The people no one has ever heard of get approvals. Plus, this being a mostly Liberal crowd the fact that Chris is a minority is an automatic approval, no one wants to be called a racist so approving of him makes them feel less guilty about being white people and makes them feel like they’re really progressive thinking, open-minded people: see Obama.
