Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1592556, member: 204"] I don't recall feeling that way about Merchant. And I have never heard anybody express what you have expressed. I guess it may be true, but it's something that I have never read or heard stated. But setting aside the quips that apparently bother you, Larry Merchant - a former sports writer in Philadelphia - knew his stuff - he knew and understood the sports business and the games themselves. I'm pretty sure that he is considered an all-time great in his business. He may know baseball - I don't know for sure. But I think most would agree that Bud Poliquin doesn't know or understand the games that concern us on this board - football and basketball. And, other than baseball, I'm not sure he truly loves sports in the way that most sports journalists love the games. [/QUOTE]
