I use to look to the Herald for my Patriots football news.

But, because of Tomase and now Felger, not anymore. Also, that front page scandel hit on BB, was the last straw.

I would say there was no mole hill to make a mountain of.

Tomase is sick!

As Brady walked toward a horde of reporters after practice, a few of his teammates’ children were playing catch. Brady signaled for the ball and one threw it to him. Brady returned the favor, and the youngster tumbled to the ground with the catch.
“Give me your best David Givens!” Brady said.
The kid looked at him quizzically.
“Let me see your David Givens!” Brady repeated.

Imagine what kind of fun the media would have had with a picture of Brady flexing his muscles on the day he’s asked to respond to a story linking him to trainer Greg Anderson and the BALCO investigation? The photo probably even would have found its way into the Herald.

For a guy like Brady, who never says or does the wrong thing publicly, it would have been a huge misstep."

I sent him an email about that crap yesterday. That was the dumbest piece of garbage I have ever read.

Most people get the Herald for the lottery numbers and the big pictures. The writing is incidental.

Tomase can be good at times, but let's just say he has the maturity of a 3 year old. Today's example is beneath stupid. Just not ready to join Reiss at the adult's table.

What the hell is wrong with that?

How does that make Tomase an idiot?

What a no talent, mansiere wearing, pie boy. A new low for the Herald, at least on their sport pages.

Do you see what Tomase is suggesting Brady means by "show me your David Givens"?

Yes, what's the big deal?

Tomase's completely right. If Brady had shown the kid how to do it and the photographer got it - the same day he was linked to Balco - it would make a very interesting picture to go with the story on sports sections across the nation today.

Because he's giving legs to an unnecessarily embarrassing guilt by association story.

Not only does he put this non-story of a non-story in the Herald, but it is not even part of a "notes" piece. The "editors" saw fit to make it it's own stand-alone story.

It was whoever reported the story for the AP's job to report it.

Tomase just added an interesting link between the story and Brady's action.

He's a writer. That's his JOB.

I had no problem with the BB story in the Herald. If they got the info, it's their job to report it. I did have a problem with the Herald plastering it on the front page like the National Enquirer when there were hundreds dying in the Middle East the same day.
