Let me get this straight. Because it's "hard" to be a sports journalist and some of these guys get kicked a couple of bucks to write for the site, we should count BR links as genuine journalism? It's a blog. An organized blog, but a blog nonetheless. I appreciate your frustration, but I'm not interested in how hard things are for journalists, I want a source that is credible. Please let me know how many stories have been broken on BR. Your soapbox argument, though understandable, is completely out of place here. I want to spend my time reading credible sources for stories, not patting some guy on the back who dreams of making it big someday. I have no desire to coddle writers and elevate BR as a source just to coddle egos.
