“…there is also this week’s edition of the Ask Reiss mailbag…”

Dude (Bruce), how dare you give Reiss second billing to that Felger. Big thumbs down. Remember: Reiss good, Felger douche.

I know that making some sort of distinction between the two types would be a wise thing to try, but it’s not necessarily possible. They’re both tiresome. You expect more from a Shaughnessy, of course, but the whole sports media cabal has descended to a depth never before seen. Reversing the trend is, to me, an impossibility. The more we hate them the angrier they get; the angrier they get, the more we hate them. In the immortal words from the movie ‘War Games,’ ‘The only winning move is not to play.’

That HAD to be prior to 2001, because he’s been the same idiot ever since I first heard of him with those ridiculous sobbing love letters he used to write to Drew after that brown nose Brady undercut him while Drew was fighting for his life.

Not sure I agree, Sam. At some point in time Halloran possessed some intellect. Go back to his early days in the Boston market and you’d be surprised to find some clever and witty thought in his work.

I think the real question is which type is more harmful to the society of sports media–buffoons like Burton or Butch, or folks like Halloran and Shaughnessy who have a modicum of intelligence but waste it on moronic, hacked up opinions like these?

Whenever stories are omitted, whether it’s out of town baseball, or BC athletics, or whatever, it is always an issue of time. I try to get the most relevant stuff out here in the time that I have.

The World Series is certainly a worthy story, but right now it is still ranks below the local teams today.

That’s LOW two-digit IQ, sam. Give the guy some credit.

Bob Halloran and Hector Longo are in the same idiot vein as Butch Sterns, Steve Burton, Mike Felger, etc…It’s astounding that morons like this are still able to find work. It’s amazing to see where a 2 digit iq can get someone.

Didn’t the World Series end last night? I know it wasn’t Boston based, but there were no articles of note on this?

Bob Halloran…a true sports media hack if ever there was one. His book on boxing was roundly panned, and it seems as though with this metro piece he’ll grab dough from wherever it’s offered. Here, he takes a ‘60 Minutes’ interview from 2 years ago and fashions his own ‘Chicken Little’ story. He’s a disgrace to a profession that revels in same.
