Ben Volin: Unprofessional Maturity of an 8 year old

He was a mediocre Dolphins beat writer for the third rate Palm Beach Post. How he became the beat writer for the once great globe is a sad commentary on how far the Globe has fallen.

Volin was late for his own birth.

Hi, Ben! Please try to resist the junior high bathroom humor and make an effort to get a real source inside the Patriots operation, okay? If you're not sure where to start, give Tom E. Curran a call.

Well said. Think about the great guys in the 70s and 80s. Ryan (now an official douche), Gammons, McDonough (a screwball, but a great writer), Jackie Mac (now another douche) and others. The crew now sucks. Chad Finn is an honest, good writer. After that, its bad.

The Globe has been poached time and again. They were bound to get a dud here and there.

Unfortunately, now it is almost all duds.

The funny thing is he was on Toucher and Rich and he talked about how he blasted Brady in his on Twitter for never denying doing anything in his press conference. As the interview went on, I think it was Rich who kept on pulling up quotes from Brady's press conference where he did. Volin kept on trying to dig himself out of the hole by saying, yeah but he didn't say X and they would counter with a quote where he did. It was embarrassing for Volin.

EDIT: You can find the interview here (May 15th, hour 3 at 12:20 mark and the comedy at Volin's expense starts about a minute later. You gotta listen to the whole interview to get him discredited multiple times (The Toucher response, "Oh Ben, you are killing Ben" is worth sitting through Volin's idiocy).

Gasper's good at his job
SMY needs to vet her sources better
Volin needs to head back to Florida

Imagine Volin did a segment with Felger and Mazz.

Felger: Brady lie.
Mazz: I agree, Mike.
Volin: Of course.

Felger: The punishment should be harsher.
Mazz: Totally Mike.
Volin: Of course.

......change to Dale & Holley... WTF, why is Volin here too...

Forgive me for I have just clicked on a Volin link. What a crock of steamy turds. I...I... I feel unclean. I promise I will never do it again. I throw myself at the mercy of the forum.

That's OK, just as long as he's not late for his own death.

He's been over his head since he came to Boston. He's not even worth the energy it takes to hate.

I agree. The attempt at reporting actual facts during the Dennard case was practically hilarious. I was surprised that someone paid to report could even do such a piss poor job.

Look at his latest tweet about Kessler you can just tell he is reasoning with himself of how Brady could lose in court even with Kessler

Ahhhh.....simple Ben.....

That's Ian's call.

The Globe is an influential, albeit fading, platform. He's going to be seen and read no matter what. Our little corner of the world boycotting the Globe won't make a hill of beans difference. Looking at the sidebar twitter feed doesn't pay him a cent.

Honestly, the only reason I know of him + keep hearing of him is because of that side feed.

I believe whoever runs the PatsFans twitter account (Ian?) can remove him from the twitter list https://twitter.com/PatsFans/lists/pats-beat-writers

The next time I care about what Ben Volin has to say about the Patriots will be the first time.
