I need to go back to 2003 and check out his articles but I can just imagine what he wrote.   Take the Vegas article.  That is just one typical example.   He says Triche is the "winner".  Three weeks ago the recruiting class was number one in the country.  Then it drops to #2 and it becomes news worthy?   JB said the 2015 recruiting class was the best one he's ever had.  JB's comment are not mentioned in the article.

If I were a Georgetown graduate and I had to be sports writer covering the Orange.  This what I would write:

"Syracuse went to its two outstanding forwards — Fair and Grant. Grant converted a 3-point play, Fair hit a baseline jumper and then Grant converted another 3-point play. Ennis finished up the 10-0 run with a breakaway layup."

"After starting the season with four home-court victories over lesser opponents, Syracuse came to the islands and took on three teams from power conferences. The Orange responded with three outstanding performances in wins over Minnesota, California and Baylor."

Nothing more than just what is required.    It's pitiful.

I guess his admission he's not a fan of the Orange really bothers me.  He said this during one of the 12 noon chat sessions.    I'm not going to get past that comment.    If he's not fan and truly wants to be objective then he should emphasize the highlights of the opposing team.  Yes, it's objective but cruel to the target audience.   I doubt I will change my opinion.  He's not a fan and it shows up in his writing in my opinion.
