Average receptions and average yards adds up to a below average analysis.

Well, as he even admitted in this post, last week Reiss said in his mailbag that Branch was a #1 receiver and then he gives you info that proves the exact opposite. God forbid he takes a stance against anyone associated with the Patriots in a mailbag.

Glad I got to get a chuckle out of you before you were kicked out!

Why would I get kicked out? I didn't do anything wrong? You get kicked out of this forum if you don't love Mike Reiss? That's a new one.

What our new Ron troll fails to appreciate is it is a reporters job to report, which includes the facts as they stand (Branch is a #1 by default as he fills that roll on this team and might well fill it on upwards of a dozen others) and his analysis which he does offer on a limited basis (turns out Deion's stats don't match up production wise with the highest paid receivers...) I believe because he does not (yet) possess the overblown ego that some of his so-called peers exhibit. That is why whenever he feels he may have misspoken or over reacted or mislead he acknowledges it.

And most of the most opinionated who prefer to stew and dig into positions are now classified by choice as columnsts. There job is not to inform but to provoke, and they love it. Unfortunately in Boston these guys tend to cross over periodically in coverage - and then they want to be treated like reporters where access is concerned and behave as columnists when it comes to presenting whatever they uncover or cannot uncover. Several also serve as full or part time media talking heads whose job is to really incite, though for the life of them they cannot understand why most teams, players and rational fans can't stomach them. After all they will whine they are just doing their job and trying to earn a living at our collective expense.

Why am I troll? Because I don't love Mike Reiss? Look at my other posts in other threads, they're all pro Patriots. So, in order not to be a troll you have to love Mike Reiss too? Is that what you're saying because if it is, you may like Reiss a little bit too much to be healthy.

Also, you are wrong about what Reiss said about Branch. This is what he said from his own mouth:

"In a Patriots mailbag on Boston.com last week, I wrote that Branch is a No. 1 caliber receiver, a vital cog to the offense."

At no point does the word "default" appear.
