I agree. Tomase has, IMO, provided consistently excellent coverage for awhile now, with more surprising scoops than anyone - many of which are mocked and derided here (until they become the CW and then people get awfully quiet). The only person in his ballpark of coverage is Reiss, and he's great too, 'though his scoops tend to be of the "Bill Belichick likes me and gave me an interview" sort.

I think Tomase's a bit more critical, which can be a very good, eye-opening thing, and Reiss is a bit more "straight reporting" and happy-go-puppy, which has its value, as well. What they have in common is that they both clearly put in the time, and work hard, and that is evident and appreciated. Either way, between Tomase and Reiss (and, to a lesser degree, Breer, McHugh, Pires), I think we have fairly solid reporting on this team.

Still here to learn

Showoff.

I don't think any of us even knew that. It's pretty flattering that someone from the major media would take the time to do research on what we're spewing about here.

I'm blushing.........John is kinda sweet.

After some scrambling and reshuffling in recent years, especially Holley's departure, it does seem like we're settling into some good solid reporting. Gasper's had some nice pieces, and Breer has been turning in some insightful and entertaining blog entries. In fact, with Borges and now seemingly Felger off the local pages, provocateur-style football grousing is an endangered species in these parts.

I disagree and find his reoprting up and down and when he's with Felger, he sometimes falls into the same trap of know-nothing statements. He DOES have some good scoops here and there, but when it's back to the ckiches, he falls flat. He's improved, but I still think he has a ways to go to get into the Reiss ball park.
