sharper802 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I have never lived in Rochester and only read the sports columns linked by TBD. Did they seriously just write the Bills wanted to move up to get Brees now? There were only about 20 other articles written before the SB on the same topic. Do they really think this is worthy of a column now - it was barely newsworthy the week before the SB? Their writers are horrible. Bob Matthews makes Clip Smith look like a Rhodes Scholar. I think the links are backwards. The D and C should just fire their writers and provide links to the discussions at TBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 The D&C is a sad excuse for a newspaper. Unfortunatley for us Rochestarians, there is no longer a viable alternative paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I rarely get much out of the Bills-related articles in the D&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 It's only relevant now because he's in town for a big awards dinner. Precisely. They merely provided some background for Brees' appearance at last night's Press-Radio Club dinner to their readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanners Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Precisely. They merely provided some background for Brees' appearance at last night's Press-Radio Club dinner to their readers. Some background that about 95% of Bills' nation is familiar with. Lazy journalism. I agree those hacks suck. Give me JW or CP, or even JS over those hacks.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I nfairness the reporter isn't a typicla Bill's beat reporter, I believe he typically cover HS sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StamerforPrez Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Wow, really searching for something to post and wine about eh? Is this Jeremy from wgr? I knew it, you sly dog you. If you wanted something to really complain about why not post about wgr's winer line? the worse idea anybody's every come up with. PS....The best writer of this modern era, Scott Potoniak, came from the D&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Some background that about 95% of Bills' nation is familiar with. Lazy journalism. I agree those hacks suck. Give me JW or CP, or even JS over those hacks. Did you do a survey? 95 percent of TBD might be familiar with the story, but I guarantee that if you walk through the parking lot at a game this fall asking that question, you wouldn't get nearly the same level of agreement. The D+C lists a daily circulation of 125k, which is roughly 12.5 times the size of the entire Stadium Wall membership, and probably more like 150 times the amount of daily visitors to this board. Brees was in Rochester. It was worth revisiting for a Rochester audience. If I'm Steve Bradley (their SE), I'm absolutely assigning the same story.

Gabe Northern Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 In addition to pointing out that it was an award ceremony story, I'd like to add that I really like the perspective of Sal and Leo. They tell it like it is. I'll never forget the podcast from training camp last year when they were laughing that there was no way Walker could play LT based on what they saw in practice and how the team was in total disarray. At the same time, the Buffalo News reporters were repeating the nonsense that this was a "playoffs or bust" season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS....The best writer of this modern era, Scott Potoniak, came from the D&C. Now if you want to get into reasons for disliking the D+C, what they did to Pitoniak (and a bunch of other people) is at the very top of the list. Unlike this.

Lori Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Sal and Leo already know better than to subject themselves to the crap-flinging they'd endure here, and I wouldn't invite Matthews. Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson from Gamehendge Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The D&C is a sad excuse for a newspaper. Unfortunatley for us Rochestarians, there is no longer a viable alternative paper.

Nanker Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Is that because he'd have too much sunshine blown up his posterior? No, because Gettysburg man should restrain his comments to things he know something about - like Zippy Chippy's career and the comings and goings at OTB.

Gibran Chandan Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Try the Finger Lakes Times or Canandaigua Daily Messanger...LOL, the D&C is way above those! Yeah, it's amazing how a larger newspaper in a city with significantly higher population (and thus, audience) has the resources to produce a better product. Who would've guessed?
