New DMN Columnist

Im bored and I saw him on a Cowboys write up. I'm sure he'll be back on the Rangers before long because the DMN hates Ranger fans (just kidding).

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is the distinct pleasure of the management to present the evening's star attraction. For your listening and dancing participation and enjoyment, tonight on this stage, it will be my privilege to give you one of the world's last living, working rhythm and blues reviews. Here they are, back after their exclusive three-year tour of Europe, Scandinavia and the sub-continent. Won't you please welcome from" St Louis Gerry Fraley

Shout out to northtexan95... you called it... bastard

So he hints that someone else is also coming back?

Let us all hope it is NOT Fraley nor Blackistone. Perhaps it’s Albert Breer?

When

Albert Breer was with DMN he was really good. Haven’t payed much attention to him since he left though.

Believe me ... I wish I was wrong. I really wish I was wrong.

But I’ll make a shout out to Chris R who replied to that post with a very relevant post of his own … That almost made me vomit. Very appropriate.

Heh

I noticed him doing a bunch of Cowboy writeups the past few days and it struck me as odd…but it didn’t really register with me that he ever left.

Today's NMLR

I wondered if JN’s MSM curmudgeon reference was Jerry Fraley. And now … this. ugh

Fraley

My first and only thought there. I think the anecdote has come up in past reports.

F That

I wish it were Breer :(

these writers

go back and forth like kids dating in high school. I guess that’s what happens when you are choosing between a dying medium and a low-revenue medium.

What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.

Rhymes loves him some Fraley.

Such flowery praise I thought it was a eulogy. I now know that Fraley can do no wrong. Thanks Hard Line!

Fraley is a very good writer

but he doesn’t kiss the organization’s ass. No wonder so many in here don’t like him.

When you say crap like that

you sound very sharky-esq.

Josey

No, that really has very little to do with why people here don’t like Fraley. It’s because his opinions are shallow and lazy, and because he likes to throw out the “stat nerds” and “bloggers living in mom’s basement” crap that so many of his ilk seem to love resorting to when challenged on their poorly researched rants.

He was a regular target of ridicule on Fire Joe Morgan, and for good reason.

I don't really care how Fraley feels about bloggers

as long it doesn’t negatively influence his work when covering the team.

EG (who seems like a nice guy) loves blogger types for the most part but his coverage of the team is negatively impacted because he almost always kisses the organization’s ass.
