After reading a number of  Mike Freeman's articles I've found him caustic and mean spirited--not to mention a lousy writer.  What do you think?

This is the best piece of literature I've seen since I read Stephen King's The Stand.  Absolutely brilliant.

I think he is like many writers lately: simply put, if he throws dirt at people and it sticks, great!  If not, well, at least someone read his material and probably made comments (like we are doing) therefore his employers see that he is being read and therefore advertisement money is coming in.  That is what it is all about...look at Ray Ratto.   He has never said anything positive but still gets loads of play.  The positive writers are thrown out because they don't cause people to get angry and rage....that is the problem with the media in general today...look at the elections, it is all sound bites and attacks.  Lame.

I have three words of Mike Freeman: Gregg Doyle Wannabe

I agree with the deplorable conditions of journalism, but Freeman is especially bad. I feel he contributes very little to CBS and he has little to offer in the way of insight, wit, analysis, or--god forbid--actual reporting. Yet you're probably wondering "Hey DD, if you don't like Freeman, why the heck are you posting on a thread attached to his article?" To which I reply: "Well sir, I normally don't. I happened to be drawn in because I don't like UNC all that much, and anything putting them down interests me. However, this article is like most of Freeman's work, simply terrible, so don't expect to see me back here anytime soon."

Well, I'm off to enjoy some portions of this otherwise-excellent website, nuts to Freeman!

I've read much from freeman that I have not liked in the past, but this artical seems very accurate to me.  Right now, I see Tyler and Ty going mid-late 1st round if they declare.

I do recall freeman writing what seemed to be a racist artical about why TH is only getting play of the year because he's white. That one was bad, but this one seems fair to me.

Well what do you expect from a writer who never graduated from college but lied about it on his resume (see other post thread) Regardless of that He does seem to intimidate Doyel's style but dosen't know how to balance it. Doyle may make some statements that seemed biased or give a biased title to his article but often backs that viewpoint with stats or mentions arguing ponts for both sides of an issue. Freeman outwardly chooses a side and has nothing to back it but his own big mouth.
