I think it's interesting that people jumped all over a Toronto reported for speculating on the future of the Bills while the Buffalo News is writing an article about how well they covered someone's death.
What is the point of the article? It feels like someone walking up to you and saying, "Hey, I'm relevant." The praise for his colleagues is a nice gesture, but why was it necessary to point out that they did so well? If the manager of a restaurant came up to you to tell you how awesome your waiter was to you...it would be strange. It's not less strange here in my opinion.
Does this absolve the absolutely horrendous track record of them covering the team?
He also has some interesting ideas like somehow you can't watch things in real time on the internet or that someone would only be following tweets of a game without some reason for not watching it.
