Ben Volin: Unprofessional Maturity of an 8 year old

[shmessy]

Remember when adults wrote for the Boston Globe?

Heard from a contractor who did work on old Foxboro Stadium. Said McNally once joked about farting into the ball. Is that "'the Deflator???"

Guess I need to add that I told that last story in jest to highlight the absurdity of this ordeal. Not to be viewed as an actual report.

he seems in over his head......the contrast with bedard just highlights it

 

[Ross12]

That's our Ben.

 

[RobAllan]

Yet he's on the Twitter feed so... this is kinda like giving him double exposure, right? Maybe the thing would be removing him finally.

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.

What a dweeb

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

 

[Fencer]

I don't see what's wrong with those tweets.

He's illustrating that McNally's words and word choice shouldn't be taken with nearly the seriousness that Wells ascribed to them.

Reading Volin after Bedard is like being forced to guzzle Thunderbird after sipping a very nice glass of French or Italian wine.

Bedard during this thing as come out almost as immature as volin.

True but at least he knows something about the game of football. Remember football? I almost don't.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Can we trade him for someone better?

Well obviously that goes without saying.

This was volin's interview with the globe

globe: do you have any problems ripping the Patriots?
violin: absolutely not
globe: you're hired

guy is a miami dolphins fanboy that lucked out because the globe was looking for a cheap option that would hate on the Pats.

I had no opinion on Volin before Deflategate, but does someone more informed know why his coverage of this has been so incredibly biased against the Patriots?

Volin is the national NFL reporter for the Globe, which he joined in the spring of 2013. A graduate of Emory University with an MBA from the University of Florida, Volin previously spent eight years at the Palm Beach Post, where he covered the Miami Dolphins and Florida Gators.

That's why^^^

 

[reneluar]

Volin is always late with the news

 

[Brady2Moss]

He hates on the Pats because he has no real sources inside the organization so all he has to offer is his hate, no information. Jeff Howe clowns him on twitter all the time.

 

[Sciz]

But was McNally "bursting, planting, and cutting"?

 

[DarrylS]

Wasn't Volin the dude who in his first BB press conference, asked him where he kept his rings..

To which BB replied, drolly, "in a box."

That paved the way for this great "reporter"....
