I have nothing to do with Tim Graham. I don't know the man, but I think it is rather disingenuous when a Pseudojournalist as yourself thinks that he actually has the traction to criticize someone who works long and hard at their chosen craft, from a position of luxury when said person doesn't actually have the balls to attempt such a career themselves.....................................

I was worried you were going to launch into a thoughtful post on the pros and cons of a tone like Graham's, but instead you went with the horrific "you haven't done it so you can't criticize" argument.

So by that metric...you shouldn't criticize the Bills for the last 15 years...or..congress...or...anything, but what you do as your career... As the people that they want to read their stuff, we have every reason to criticize them when they fail. They are selling us a product and the product has been subpar. Your genius speaks...volumes..

Mr. WEO Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Graham is hardly the only thin skinned reporter out there....

negativo Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Bah...hate Tim Graham with a capital H. Sensationalist egomaniac who infuses his own petty agenda into every story he writes. He'd be a much better fit over at TMZ than TBN. Ashamed to admit we share the same alma mater.

Are we pretending like Timmy G is the bigger man deserving of our respect? The guy who dishes out shots to folks on Twitter (I don't care if they "deserve" it, you can't be rude to folks and be the "aw shucks, I'm just trying my darnedest" guy"? Can you name the last positive thing he's written about the Bills? Maybe the Talley piece? On 2/25/2015 at 1:28 AM, Ted William's frozen head said: Right-O!

His actual writing, like everyone in the TBN sports department, is off the charts phenomenal, at least as measured by the standards of his harshest critics on this board, most of whom don't know the difference between "they're," "their," and "there."
Green Lightning Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Been in the business myself, though news, not sports. TG is better suited for features. The Talley piece was terrific. But I'm glad he's off the Bills beat. A good reporter is skeptical, not cynical. TG was the latter and began a slide into the caustic. The BN should hire Fairburn out of Cuse. He's been a welcome addition, though I could do with a few less "five things you should know..." stories.
eball Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Graham has always believed he's "above" a lowly sports team's beat, so I'm glad he's gone. He disdains the fans and relished in the negative. Think Mike Rodak with more experience and a bit more upstairs.

I logged in solely to write the term "condescending", but looks like you effectively beat me to it!
