He has a weekly mailbag and a weekly chat where he offers up his opinions, additionally, the blog has started updated with videos of his analysis. That's the key word, he provides analysis, yes it's his opinion, but he has no agenda. No one will turn on him b/c he's too reasonable and fair.
Cafardo's, Borges', Felgers, etc., these guys want attention, they want their opinion to stand out, and in some cases, are just bitter old coots. Reiss has earned the fanbases respect, and I don't think he'll lose it any time soon.
What I think Mike gets, and I hope he never loses sight of, is that the only opinion real fans want is informed opinion. I want to know what the Pats may be thinking, not what some mediot thinks they should be thinking. That is where the three stooges tripped up. Felger no longer cares because his opinion has landed him lots more voice and face time gigs, and those are a lot more lucrative than print work. The great news this week is Felger seems to have abandoned his WBZ gig in favor of his own CSN show. And Mike R seems to be the Mike F replacement of choice for Lobel. :woohoo:
sucks to be you, huh? everyone needs a direction in life. my sympathies.I can't wait until Reiss starts writing opinion pieces instead of just reporting on the Patriots beat and everyone turns on him ala Cafardo.
I used to view it as Reiss = the best at reporting the facts, Breer = the best at analyzing the facts, but Reiss has started to break things down a little more and more, and has made the loss of Breer less noticeable. I still think the Globe was crazy not to try and hire Breer, a Breer-Reiss team reporting on the Pats would be awesome.
As it is, Reiss-Gasper is pretty great. Reiss has really done a great job these past couple years, Pats fans owe him a thanks.
I agree.
I see MR getting better and better on TV and I worry. Are we going to lose him too?

5000 posts and this is your iceburn?
For all the bandwagon fans you should know that throughout the 90's Cafardo was the Patriots' beat guy and everyone loved him because he only reported the facts just like Reiss does. Eventually Reiss will want to make a name for himself and in the media that doesn't come by consistently being positive eventually he'll have to take a controversial stance on something to drum up attention.
Point is-don't take it personally like people did with Cafardo.
