Taking our homer glasses of for a moment, who are patsfans.com's favorite - and least favorite - members of the media? To make this a halfway meaningful discussion, let's eliminate Mike Reiss and John Tomase.

I'm not talking about people who tell us what we want to hear; what I am looking for is opinions of who are the most objective, insightful and best reads on both the local and national scene in the minds of this forum - and also, who in your opinion are the worst.

Peter King

Mort

locally, I still enjoy Felger...

Worst:
Anybody at the Herald.

I know you wish to take him off the table..but why are you?? Reiss is one of the best..quite objective and gives the info..He has a great mail bag every week and a chat now..Last week he answered 45 questions..in 45 minutes..I will go with him as the best.
I still like Curran...Gosselin is one of the best in the Nation...enjoy his writings a great deal...
The worst?? Borges, Felger..really besides Tomase..those three stand out a lot.

I like A. Schefter - I think he's #1 for national media. I also enjoy Curran.

Locally, I love Felger. I've never really understood why everyone hates him. He's entertaining both on radio and on the EEI blog. Obviously, Reiss is the best local guy - but you "took him off the board".

For worst : nationally, I really have no use for Clayton. I really don't get why ESPN would hang on to him - maybe the Schefter move is a sign... Locally, the Globe staff is quite good, but I have little use for the others (obv, Felger excluded) who are charged with covering the Patriots exclusively. When talking local media (other than Patriots-only media), I love the Big Show, but could do without the morning guys...

Michael Smith...ESPN, I think he used to work for the Globe.

Least favorite...Mark Schlereth...what a DB!

Best: Maybe Peter King? Other than Reiss, I can't think of anyone I actually enjoy reading.

Worst: John Clayton. I can't stand this ************. He actually thinks he's an authority on football.

Frezo

Best, Chris Price because he's here and cares about US. I like Shalise Young because of her style and enjoy watching her gain experience. Patsox23 is a good read too. There are too many posters here to list that deserve honorable mention. IMO Patsfans is a form of the media. Anything Pats worthy gets posted here 30 seconds after it hits the web anyway.

Everyone else can catch a flight to Siberia and I'd never miss them.

Frezo beat me to it. Chris Price for obvious reasons (we were lucky to have Chris here with us for three seasons) and Shalise Young would be my two names other than the obvious choice in Mike Reiss. Paul Perillo I also feel is quite underrated, and is also a solid guy.

I won't give a negative opinion of anyone I dislike. The job is a lot more difficult than people realize, and I think it comes down to whoever's writing style you enjoy reading.

Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan on Sirius are really good. They were unfailingly supportive during the $%^gate BS. Adam Schein on Sirius also is very complimentary of BB and the Pats. I believe Tom Curran continues to do the backwards Aztec Two Step covering his backside on the story I believe he got snookered on (Brady's "relapse"). But other than that, he's generally fair. Michael Holley, I think, is by far the best on local radio. I can't comment objectively on the Big Show football people because, despite their fierce loyalty to the team, I can't stomach any one of them for more than 30 seconds at a time. But, that's just me and I recognize they are very popular with others.
