Thank goodness the nationals have again missed the boat yet again (because the region is fairly devoid of actual talent nowadays). The Globe lost it's last vestage of sports department relevance when ESPN lured Reiss away. Breer was brought in to re-establish them but he didn't. But in the process he became a darling of the old boy network whose tentacles reach far and wide and who live to launch another of their own onto the national scene because they believe it will bolster their own relevance. This will probably be a better fit for Bert, it's clearly his goal to be a national voice even though the trait he seems to display most is one they already have in spades, he's easy to impress. He became so taken with Sparano during his Dallas stay he can't be objective about Miami at all any more. I'm sure Rex has impressed him with his openness and candor...
Will be interesting to see what they try and do with him. He doesn't have the chops to contribute much of significance on his own, which is why he landed back here to begin with. But he is going to the land of spoon fed insiders...where you can get away with less insight as long as you can be fed an impressive array of insideresque breaking news.
