......so he should have stayed at the Boston Globe??????
You DO understand that they are worse than ESPN, right?
People were either not here or forget, but when he jumped from the Globe to start ESPNBoston.com that was a HUGE slap in the face to the Morrissey Boulevard crowd - - that was UNHEARD OF back then - - and, yes, it DID help change the terrain away from the newspaper domination. The Globe sports section has never recovered from it.
With the Globe, it is a management Holy War against Kraft and the possibility of a football team getting anywhere near the popularity of their idol Red Sox.
Reiss has a wife and kids to feed. Where does he go? When he took the ESPNBoston job they told him the blog was his. THEY changed the game on him with this ESPNation encroachment last year. He was ticked off and he put his neck on the line by publicly answering a question from a reader about it.
Look folks, you are never going to get a 100% pure fanboy info site anywhere - - even here.
For some, the litmus test is ridiculously tight. So Reiss' PSi reading BRIEFLY fell to around 11.3 on Monday. Admit that the atmosphere he performs in could possibly do it.
