THe Official John "Borges" Tomase Should Be Fired Thread

[BigMike]

for breaking the rules in journalism, not corrobrating his sources and writing fiction about BB and The Patriots prior to SB42. This sonofabitcz needs to go - this is not journalism.

I agree. We'll never know if the Specter-Walsh-Tomase crap that came about 2 days before the game had an effect on the mindstate of the players or the coaches, but let's err on the side of caution: F them all.

I'm never reading or listening to a single word out of Tomase's mouth again, I've removed the Herald blog from my email program, and I'm never going to their site again.

I think all Patriots fans should similarly voice their displeasure and stop supporting the Herald, if for no other reason than Tomsae took the chance of bringing out something so sensationalist, distracting and potentially damaging two days before they lost the most important game in the history of the franchise.

I agree, except the most important games were in 2001/2002.

That's not quite the problem. The problem is that it is/was all innuendo and rumor. If he had hard evidence--you know, like the actual tape--that would be a different matter altogether. But this was a hit piece, pure and simple.

I vote to fire him. Goodbye Tomase...

[BigMike]

he should be part of the next round of Herald layoffs...which are usually a few times a year now...

Honestly, I don't care if he had 100% proof. You wait until after the Super Bowl. Have some friggin loyalty to the team and fan base. The two are the reason he gets paid to write.

But yes, your point is taken, it was horribly irresponsible journalism on his part.

I usually don't do this kind of thing but I'm gonna send Tomase an email asking if he's happy with himself for rumor mongering the day before the SB with totally unsubstantiated crap that someone with actual sources (Holley) is saying is false. Tomase is just pitiful and it's a shame.

Tomase,Fish and the rest are guilty of Yellow journalism. I.E journalism that exploits, distorts, or exaggerates the news to create sensations and attract readers. They should be suspended or fired.

Poor taste on the editor who came out with it.. Time to move on..
