AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Unpopular take …. The reporter who fills this role doesn’t really bring anything new to the conversation that I can’t get elsewhere. He did seem to embrace the culinary offerings WNY had to offer though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Stare Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Traitor! 😂 That’s home for him, right? Seriously, Good for MLJ. Even if I’m salty he’s jumping ship for a division rival.

Just trying to give honest unbiased opinions, and report things. I agree, I thought Marcel L-J did a good and fair job and was a huge improvement over whoever that was who went before him. He also embraced Buffalo food and culture That said, now that he's covering the stinkin' Marine Mammals, he's Dead to Me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Mr. WEO said: Why do they randomly move these people around? I'm wondering the same. You'd think that if someone is doing well (which Marcel was), it would be in ESPN's best interest to leave them there to continue to build relationships with the execs, coaches and players. This seems like very unnecessary turnover through which no one wins. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami is bigger than Buffalo, which probably equals more viewership, which may get him more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The new reporter looks like she's about 4' tall.

ESPN may also want their young reporters to not get too set on covering one team for years. I'd have to see what they do with the other team-dedicated reporters. From a young reporter's perspective, it is great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
