I have mixed feelings on this whole issue.
I enjoy the work of both Bobbymac and Lindsay. Try to keep in mind though, Kramer is not an employee of the Crunch/Jackets and therefore, should be much more unbiased than Bobby, and certainly should not be a "fan". I believe his stories should be based on facts, but by the same token, there will always be "news" that is best not reported, out of respect for the team and its success. Did the LaCosta story(ies) cross that line? I am not sure, leaning towards no, but could see how would could "read between the lines" on the issue. The whole injury rule is absurd, since no one really follows it anyway. I think Kramer generally uses good judgment. Thinking about the Jaffray issue....if one of our players called the Marlies' owner a Retard, I don't think he would print that. When you hear puck bunny stories, he doesn't track them down and do a story on the alleged menages or whatever exploits are being thrown around...I think you get the ideal.
As for borrowing ideas and stories from this board....doesn't bother me. He and I have joked about it, but in essence, I feel that is a good thing. Because we are just fans on a message board, pretty much all "scoops" are just rumors until someone with access can substantiate them. He has that access and is often able to clear things up for the fans through his blog. Bottom line: More information, more readily available....everyone wins.
