Default Ask PFW getting irritating?

http://www.patriots.com/news/index.c...=18658&pcid=41

Instead of answering questions as insightful journalists, this has turned into a "let's see who can immaturely humiliate each other more" type of read. I've stopped reading it. Not worth the time. Endless bickering.

What the section seems to be taking the direction of is that little "point/counter-point" piece from Patriots Today which was nothing more than what you'd find on WEEI these days - yelling, screaming, and more moronic comments and insights than one can imagine. Perillo could bring some sense to the Big Show every once in awhile, but even he gets dragged into crap by that quack Casale who presents himself as a grade schooler. (That's right, Casale, if you're reading this! )

And to think they are representing such an efficient, classy, sound franchise!

I barely even visit Patriots.com anymore since they sold PVN and all it's archives and tried replacing it with a sub-standard product. Granted, the dingbat hostette has nice sweater-puppies, but the value stops right about there.

"Assante Samuel has never been anything more than decent"?
Ouch! That's gotta smart. I'd have to disagree with that asessment.

I actually enjoy it. It's a mailbag, it's not a news story. They are offering their opinion and I find it entertaining whether I agree with them or not. That's what a mailbag should be. I just read the recent one and I think it had a ton of good stuff on the draft and even Rodney's injury. I love Mike Reiss but the one thing he does that sucks is his mailbag. I think it's boring but that's just me. At least the PFW guys give some opinions instead of saying, "Tebucky Jones will wear #34." - Mike Reiss

You can't make a statement like that without poating a photo. Now I'm going to be thinking about sweater puppies all night.

Wait a minute- I think about them all night anyway. But it would be nice to see the photo.

Default PFW, I agree

T-Shirt dynasty, I agree. When they sold PVN that burned my ass something fierce. I hate that second rate Patriots Today crap. The only highlight is that Brian Lowe makes an appearance every once in a while. "Mr. Kraft bring back the PVN to your fans!"

I tend to agree it has gone down hill..the wed show is a bit better, but some of the shows are truly forgetable..NOT really up to par at all. Downward trend really does not bode well for them. At one time they seemed to take it a bit MORE seriously.

I agree the radio show can be annoying, especially Andy Hart who I can't stand. However, the biggest thing the PFW guys are hired for is to write for the team's newspapers which is an excellent publication. Does anyone else get PFW? I don't think any other team newspaper in the league is that good so that's where I think they earn their money. The Internet show and all that stuff is just side things but they do put out an impressive newspaper. For Patriots fans, I think it's a must have because everything else around here is so centered on the stupid Red Sox, it's nice to get something in the mail every week devoted just to the Patriots and is of high quality. That's where they do there news reporting, it's not like Ask PFW and I think they give good insight on the team even though I don't like some of them personally.

I subscribe and enjoy their written work. Hart can be grating. On a radio show last week he actually joked that the Pats should kidnap the wives of prospective placekickers in the middle of the night, lure the players to Gilette, and force them to kick field goals while holding knives at their wives' throats, to test the players' nerves under pressure. At that point I shut of their radio show and haven't listened again... Wow... I bet if Myra had heard that "joke" Hart would have been fired... but overall its the best team newspaper in the country, no doubt.
