COB Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 He's going to be covering my tribe for Fox Sports Ohio. Quote
HoosierCat Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 No surprise as he always said he's a Browns fan. Quote
COB Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report 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.

skyline Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Oh, thank goodness.Never enjoyed the guy's writing... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted February 20, 2014 Report 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

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

ArmyBengal Posted February 20, 2014 Report 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

ArmyBengal Posted February 20, 2014 Report 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 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. Quote

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. Quote

I hope he covers the Dolphins, so Richie Incognito could give him a wedgie. Quote
HoosierCat Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Just to circle back around, Dehner has been named to replace him. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Just to circle back around, Dehner has been named to replace him.What was it I was saying about more of the same ??Blah blah blah... Quote
membengal Posted March 10, 2014 Report 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 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
GapControl Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 good god... what if hobson would have signed with the enquirer??? Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 good god... what if hobson would have signed with the enquirer???Then someone else would need to step in as the official Bengals front office toolbag mouthpiece. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 12, 2014 Report 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
GapControl Posted March 13, 2014 Report 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..... Quote
