COB Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 He's going to be covering my tribe for Fox Sports Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 No surprise as he always said he's a Browns fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Somewhat sorry to see him go. He was a bit caustic, I'm kind of sorry to see him cover the tribe, but then again he'll be a good antidote to the lap dogs in the Terry Francona cult of personality that currently covers the tribe.

ArmyBengal Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Seeing as how I don't really care much for what the writers have to say, I can't say as I care that much.No ill will and I wish him well in Cleveland, but the next guy will come in and it will be more of the same.It's been a VERY long time since there has been someone writing about the Bengals that I really cared much about.

I follow a lot of Bengals feeds on twitter just for general news and updates. Reedy always felt...disinterested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reedy always felt...disinterested.whatever. to me, this is non-news. these hacks are less and less meaningful, with all the blogs and other coverage of teams.agree. on twitter he was constantly dick-ish and dismissive of folks. I don't think he understood that people just like interacting, but he needed to always be the know-it-all who was "right". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 He needed to always be the know-it-all who was "right".And how often was he any MORE right than any other reasonably informed fan ??While I don't consider myself a writer by any stretch, I don't think they have some amazing insight to share that we are all so unaware of.You can compare sports writers weathermen. Sometimes they get it right, but many times they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was going to say the same thing Hoosier.They treat them like Bengals cheerleaders.But then again, you get to do super cool blogs and videos on cincinnati.com that look like you are front of a PBS backdrop done from the basement.Oddly, they really are in front of PBS.

HoosierCat Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah and you sure don't get paid extra for all those videos and cross-promos and hundreds of daily tweets, etc. As a former member of the media I can say it pretty much sucks today as a career option.

Pay better be big. sidenote: I've never forgotten a particular column Daugherty wrote in which he detailed the experience of, while in high school, being rolled up in a wrestling mat.

I hope he covers the Dolphins, so Richie Incognito could give him a wedgie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Paul Dehner is 100% improvement on Reedy. Not sure why you thing they are equivalent Army. Dehner's articles have way more thought and depth, and he doesn't troll people on twitter. This remains the best development of the off-season, Bengals-wise, for me.With Dehner and Cole Harvey, this is the best we have had it for beat writers in Cincy in a long time with regard to Bengals coverage.

membengal Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I commend any of his pieces since he took over to you. His video sessions with position coaches as a part of his position reviews are top notch.Here is an example, Army. This is really good stuff - well written, thoughtful, accessible. And no attitude. />http://www.cincinnati.com/story/blogs/2014/03/07/walkthrough-pollak-impact/6158657/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hobson already was the Enquirer Bengals writer before taking the job with the team. He was the guy before Mark Curnutte. I'm old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GapControl Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 i must of not thought much of his writing then either since i don`t recall him there. there is a wispy, vague memory of his ugly mug in black and white floating in my mind.....
