We want our reporters to give us the facts they’ve been told, because not all of us were privy to that same information.

Meanwhile, we want our analysts to add something to those facts, rather than merely parrot them.

The problems come about when reporters reach too far and try to add opinion to their report, which we’ll take too literally because reporters are supposed to provide facts and should thus be believed.

Conversely, when an analyst (like, ostensibly, Joe Morgan) has no facility to generate opinions or collect/connect data, and is only capable of repeating things he’s heard as if they’re deep insights, well, it’s pretty fucking useless.

I don’t know of a solution to that problem other than to raise a big ruckus on the internet until things actually happen, at which point we have something new to raise hell about.

He was the one who broke the Farve deal, on the day he came here, two hours after Jay Glazer came out and said there is no way farve is coming out of retirement.

I especially agree with Fun Bobby’s post as it applies to the national media. It’s like watching a nationally televised baseball game and Joe Morgan (or some other bozo) just repeats what Gardy says about the player/s. It’s not based on stats, or from having watched the team a few times, just repeating what their told.
