Bad media news: Bert Breer off to Dallas

[zippo59]

God damn it. He is by far the best Patriots writer. His analysis is always great and objective. He was probably too good for this town.

Eh, but all it really means is I will be reading the Herald much less now.

It's not like the Globe couldn't have found room for him along side Mike and the baseball/basketball/hockey fill in flavor of the month football "reporter" concept they've been trying since they axed the wrongheaded one and failed to replace him. Ditto the Herald, who is inexplicably holding the coveted Kevin Mannix Memorial football columnist slot hostage for Mr. Multimedia to inhabit in season if he can find the time between more lucrative gigs, while having a hockey maven pick up the slack so they can justify maintaining Tomase in baseball lovers purgatory on a football beat.

Meanwhile, the management of the Boston papers are mystified at why their circulation figures are droping precipitously.

I'll miss Breer a ton, but congratulations Bert. You and Gosselin should make a hell of a pair.

My sentiments entirely.

Our loss but your gain (I can't think of a better colleague to have than Gosselin).

that really really sux.....why cant the herald pay their guys they get decent bloggers and let them go..reiss first (glad he just went to globe)

Tomase does a good job with the Point After. Breer will be missed, but that's okay.

breer was 10 times better than tomase

No, it's NOT OK.

Tell me, who will provide us with the analytical insight we got in "Tales of the Tape"? We're not all vapid Sox fans here. We want insightfull analysis of the plays, not CHB style bloviation.

That's a problem every newspaper in America is facing, even the Dallas Morning News.

That's a problem every newspaper in America is facing, even the Dallas Morning News.

And the readers they do have are older and the future demographics are not good. That is due to the Internet, Drudgereport type websites and the 24 hour news cycle......

Terrible news. Great move for him though. Better weather, better girls, and a more appreciative readership, present company excepted.

That "present company excepted" better apply to the girls, too...

Apparently, Albert Breer is leaving the Pats beat and going to Dallas.

Bad for us, good for Dallas fans.

Son of a B. I was really looking forward to seeing him cover the Pats for many years to come. But, congrats to Breer, I wouldn't be surprised to see if he is on his way to something national, considering the level of thought and analysis he puts into his work. He does great work.

Shame on the Herald for not getting this guy a full-time position covering the Pats in this town.

Indeed!! GREAT career move for the kid. Gossellin is very well respected and I have always enjoyed reading his stuff.

Good luck Breer.

Here is the good, the bad and the ugly or simply stated the difference between a good columnist and crapola.

Gossellin, Ryan, = Good

Felger, Shaugnessey = bad & crapola

Borges = Bad & ugly & crapola

Why the love for Felger and Shaugnessy?

Skin to win hotstuff! :rocker:

Good luck Albert, sorry to lose the insight. With Benson reporting on the Curran, Reiss, Breer trend of Metrowest, I just hope good reporting comes in fours...

That goes without saying, milady
