Default Who knows more about the Pats?

Obviously reporters break the news, but when it comes to analyizing the news, who knows better, how it effects the pats? The local sports media or You?

I'm not sure but it seems like so many reporters want to be like Ron Borges, and just say stuff for the shock value, sometimes I can't decipher what they really belive or what they are just saying to make a name for themselves.

Also who is the best and worst Pats writer/analyst?

Quite obvioiusly several people on this board know a lot more about the Pats players than anyone else, including BB.

That’s what we always do, and I think the last nine years we’ve put a pretty competitive team out there on the field every year. I think that’s how you do it – you get good football players. Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”

Not to sound conceited, but it seems every day I listen to the radio or watch TV and shout at it correcting some of the stupid thing someone in the media says about this team. You would think that people who get paid to be experts on the local teams (some high six figure salaries) that they would know almost everything there is to know about at least the Patriots and Red Sox. Many don't know more than the average fans.

This is so painfully true. I've never understood how reporters and analysts in particulat get away with their sheer ignorance, particularly when it comes to things like systems and schemes and rules and contracts and the cap - when grasping that stuff should be the basis of their well paid existence.

Talking heads are another whole kettle of fish. Like on air columnists they exists largely to fuel ratings and ignorance and arrogance is the proven recipe that accomplishes that.

The only person I read consistantly regarding the Pats is Mike Reiss.

I'm finding this transcends across the globe. Journalists have started lifting ideas or themes from boards and running them as stories with their own spin. I find it incredibly lazy but also a compliment. It's the acknowledgment that there's some pretty smart "fan" analysts out there.

I'm not really sure that I buy into what journos say. You only have to see the difference in the presentation and opinion of Tedy Bruschi compared to some journalists to know that.

I generally enjoy patfanken's contributions and there's always that Patjew fella. He's pretty handy.

Patjew, your posts so often reflect my thoughts that I hardly have to post at all.
