I know that as a member of the print media, he does the obligatory butchering of the pronounciation of every NFL players name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 That Larry Felser, elder statesman of the Bills reporting crew, desn't know the Bills won/loss record last year? Or the fact that his editors at the Buffalo News don't know either? http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20060319/1020746.asp PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The date on the page is the published date, not necessarily the written date. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I have to believe the column was written & sent in before the Reed signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's got other responsibilities than writing an article for the Bills. Having said that, I though the piece was weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dude's job as a columnist is to write pieces on the Bills, THATS HIS JOB, you would think he would know the won-loss record of the team he is paid to cover.

Ramius Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 That was a particularly bad piece by fleser. I saw the title and immediately thought it was a jerry sullivan column. And i am really surprised that falser cant remember the bills went 5-11 last year, not 6-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm sayin' is that so what, one minor mistake. Don't let it ruin your Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf Fub Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I still think Felser is great. He's one of the few things I look forward to reading every Sunday. The man is retired, however, so I don't expect him to write a top notch column every week. I still think he usually makes some good points and I value his opinion, esp. when he talks about the Bills.

Hey those guys have been around forever, who is the executive sports editor? His last name is Smith. All those guys have been around since the early 80s so I guess things get stale and complacent. I've never been overly impressed with the Buffalo sports pages to begin with since the Courier left town. Oh well, that's the newspaper business these days. That being said, I thought Felser's column objectively pointed out the Bills failure to address some of those offensive concerns. He should have mentioned House Ballard in with those other offensive linmen of the past but I am getting picky now. It was a good column in general.
