First of all he make Bill Plaschke look like a school girl.

If there's a guy that deserves praise it's Mike Reiss for breaking down games on formations and player snaps. He actually does investigative reporting and reports relevant football information based on insight and fact.

He touched upon distraction of the season and Sheftr asked him if there was one distraction that would affect the team what would it be? He said the Harrison suspension because it seemed like a repeat of Milloy. BB talks about the importance of preseason to prepare you for game one and then the 16 game season.

He also was mentionned how the pats would fair against the giants pass rush and of course Reiss being the awesome reporter he is said.... the pats had 67%(some number in 60's) of there snaps from the 3 and 4 wr set.

He also predicted brady would answer the ankle questions and BB would say see the report wednesday.

Reiss is always good, he'd just started coming on NEST before moving to the Globe; too bad.

I like Reiss because he's human.
He's made a couple of errors in his reporting at times but he's also had the sack to admit it.
He's accountable and I really admire that from a media person.
(Unlike most of the other media personnel who suffer from very selective memory losses when it involves them making a mistake.)
I make it a point to read him daily.

Reiss is a very professional and knowledgeable reporter, by the way does he have a Canadian accent?

Having lived in other cities, I can testify to what a good football reporter does. IMHO until Reiss and Speer, (I hope they entice him back), the Boston media never had a half way decent football reporter. They had some very poor examples too. Willie Donaugh, Ron Borges were terrible examples. Mike Felger is morphing into a non entity too.

But still on balance it is better than it used to be. Can you imagine an entire sportswriter corps of all Shaughnessys' Yes it actually used to be that bad!

Albert Breer?

But yes I'm in agreement

It was good to see Reiss and Holly get some national face time.

Mike Reiss is amazing. As you all here have pointed out, he does his job (and a good one at that) without being pompous or condescending or over-the-top, unlike many in media today. He is awesome.
