Fadingpain Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I didn't read what he wrote but you are generally correct that he finds negative in things. 1- he doesn't cover everything in rose colored glasses. 2- he's from the New England area and he is not a Bills fan so it's no surprise he's not a fan of this team. He does his job. He's from Providence, RI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRex Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. It seems quite sad to me to have built a career around pointing out the many flawed actions of the long playoff less Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That organization is historically one of the worst in N. American team sports history. Would you prefer he fill his career discussing gardening tips?

The Frankish Reich Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 He has a shtick: Pure negativity. When it's all he does, it's predictable, lazy and boring. But until the Bills start winning, Jerry is always right, which sucks. Win, and this one dimensional act becomes irrelevant. It is probably part true frustration at this inept organization and part shtick. He's a good sports opinion writer because he's a pretty good writer in general. He has a theme (almost always negative about the Bills), he develops it, comes up with some clever rhetorical devices ... it works. I read his columns after the trades because I knew they'd be readable, relatively entertaining. Some of the other regular Bills writers may know more football, but they simply don't write as well. He is what he is. I still read him. Most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The Bills have sucked for 17 years and the guy tells it like it is. So do all the other writers from the Buffalo News and Democrat and Chronicle. Winning would cure this.. but I doubt we make the playoffs this year so keep hating the reporters that tell it like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
