notwoz Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 He just can't let it go. What he doesn't understand is that it wasn't because his columns were negative. They just became boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That always bothered me more than his opinions. It is ridiculous for him to criticize the writers they have hired on skill level since he has proved he is a hack. Only reason he had a job so long was union rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does any publisher pay their bills if they don’t force a subscription? Don't rely on third party ads. Sell your own, and include static ads in your page content. Ad blockers are essential in personal cybersecurity. Third party ad services are "a vast, opaque and dizzyingly complex contraption with underappreciated capacity for misuse — one that collects and constantly profiles data about our behavior, creates incentives to monetize our most private desires and frequently unleashes loopholes that the shadiest of people are only too happy to exploit." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/31/technology/internet-advertising-business.html If you're relying on third-party ads for revenue, you should accept and understand that there are ways to circumvent displaying of and collecting of personal information by those ads on the consumer's browser. Do the research. Build a better mouse trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven50 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Newspaper "columnist" are a thing of the past. 10 years from now your going to be able to count on one hand how many people get paid big coin for an opinion in ANY local newspaper. Pittsburgh doesn't even have a daily news anymore. http://thehill.com/homenews/media/403746-pittsburgh-becomes-largest-us-city-without-a-daily-print-newspaper More cities to follow. It was inevitable that these guys where going to loose their jobs it was just a matter of when. Any reasonable intelligent articulate writer on this board can start a blog, drop 5 bucks a day on a google or facebook add and by the end of the year they will have amassed at least a thousand regular readers. The old guard that got big contracts and big pay are mostly going to get squeezed out by the end of the decade. The internet has made "columnist" a dime a dozen and with so many people doing it through blogs, e zines, and websites, your opinion would have to be really super special to make it worth while for anyone to pay you big bucks for it. The BN decided to get rid of the people they where paying the big bucks. I would bet good money the people they have now that replaced the old guard aren't making half as much and at the end of the day it doesn't matter to the average reader.

stuvian Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Not being from Buffalo my exposure to his work was not as deep as many of you. I can say that I always read his columns with genuine interest. He didn't pull any punches when covering the Bills and I respect that much more than the powderpuff sports coverage I see in most markets, including Ottawa's. Was the writing negative? Yes but it was also a realistic representation of the fact that this team has been lost in the wilderness for nearly twenty years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Thrill Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Check Jerry’s twitter feed from today. It seems as though he’s resorted to trolling fans like Dan O’Shaugnessey in Boston. Kinda sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but it was also a realistic representation of the fact that this team has been lost in the wilderness for nearly twenty years On an individual basis, the articles can make sense, but when you see his total body of work, and read the negative titles on a day in and day out basis, you realize what you are dealing with. It's fine in doses. But as John said, when that is all you bring to the table it is a HUGE turn off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
