OT: Old friend Albert Breer returns to Boston...sort of
He's landed a national job with The Sporting News covering the NFL according to Scott's Shots at BSMW. I guess that proves you don't have to be a self absorbed, back stabbing douche bag to get ahead in the sports media...go figure.
"Former MetroWest Daily News writer and Patriots beat guy, Albert Breer, will be leaving the Dallas Morning News on June 26 to take a national job with The Sporting News on July 7. Breer, 28, will be moving back to his native Boston (a Lincoln-Sudbury graduate of 1998) and be based here for TSN. “This is what I want to do,” said Breer. “My goal has been to cover the league, not just one team, and that’s what I’ll be doing now.” (Breer will team with TSN’s Clifton Brown and Dennis Dillon on NFL coverage.)
There will certainly be an adjustment period for Breer as he develops deeper sources and contacts throughout the league, but his rise through the ranks has been impressive - aided, he said, by now having covered both the Patriots and the Cowboys. “I’m young, but I tend to get along well with football people,” said Breer. “This is a position I’ll be able to grow in.”
. . . Amusing to see how at least one of Breer’s colleagues at the DMN took to calling him Albert Einstein.
. . . Breer pointed out that the DMN is used to losing writers to national outlets. “Look at how many people have been poached from here: Matt Mosley, Ed Werder, Mark Stein, Tim Kurkjian - all those guys were DMN reporters.”

Good for Breer. Nice to see that actual journalism gets rewarded.

I'm sure the Dallas fans are disappointed. Good for Breer, maybe he'll show up on FSNE again like Curran does even though he's national. Getting Breer on sometimes would be enough to pique my interest even when Girlie is on.
Re: OT: Old friend Albert Breer returns to Boston...sort of
Congratulations to you, AB. I think that having worked with Mike Reiss and Rick Gosselin gives you a pretty good pedigree.

Congrats to Breer moving back here. Good guy. Good career move. My daughter went to Lincoln-Sudbury HS as well back when we lived in the 1776 zipcode.

It's definitely a long, long way from the MetroWest Daily News in a short, short time! Congrats both to Breer and to his new employer, they made a great choice.
Re: OT: Old friend Albert Breer returns to Boston...sort of
That is awsome.
I read some of his stuff in Dallas but this will be much more interesting for us uo here in Boston who loved his writing while he was here.
I would say the best thing I remember about his writing is that he had a way of breaking down the game and making it more understandable for the layman. Coverages, schemes, packages, ext, ext, ext.......
