Boston Herald Fiasco

John Tomase of the Boston Herald — not a very good journalist. Just look back at my Sept. ‘07 post on the Herald’s “Point After” blog after one of Tomase’s colleagues moved on. I recognized Tomase’s shoot-from-the-hip, lack-of-credibility reporting style long ago. His extrapolations on bits of info gleaned from questionable sources are so far-fetched.  The following is my reaction to his story speculating that Randy Moss was about to be cut before playing a single game for the Pats. The rest is history. Moss went on to post a single-season record for TDs, helping the Pats to a perfect regular season. My crazy rant last fall to Tomase’s so-called story follows. It’s still archived on the Boston Herald site.

Comment by rabidgolf – September 2, 2007 @ 10:46 pm I only trusted your posts. The baloney about Moss being cut only reinforces my fears about John’s news sense. Plus, his bio on the Herald website is vague. For whom did he cover the Red Sox before taking the Pats beat at the Herald? I know he likes Grogan for his playing collar, but I’m uncomfortable with his football acumen. Albert, who seemed to be the only one with energy to keep the blog up to date, will be missed. I’ll defer to Reiss at the Globe.
