Basher Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 In today's Nothin' but (Inter)Net column Doug Smith calls out some of the ridiculous emails that get sifted through to form the column. He calls out one email from "The guy who wanted (The Raptors) to re-sign Jerome Williams as a player." That has to be The Chameleon, right?

The Chameleon Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Oh I wish it was. However I do not know who this sports writer is. It does seem like more than just me feel this way.I'll say it again, they shoould resign him. Why? for many reasons....1. The Raptors desperately need vertan leadership and JYD has that in spades.2. The Raptors have always struggled with rebournding and defense. Those two things are JYD's specialty.3. Fans love him and he would put even more people in the seats, and the homecoming marketing angle would be huge.4. He is only 32 and still in his effective playing years.5. The Raptors could get him cheap and he would love to play here again. He still has many active community programs here....the bottom line is it wouldn't be that hard for the Raptors to make it happen, wouldn't hurt thier pocket book badly and it would make them a better team on an off the court......now if we could only get Keon Clark back too...

Jaimoe Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Doug Smith is the beat writer for the Raptors for the Toronto Star. He's a decent writer. The Star's better beat writer is Dave Feschuck, who may be the most consistantly entertaining read in the Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Dave Feschuck?! Fuck, I think he is terrible, mostly due to his doom and gloom articles that appeared daily in the Star during the Raps last several seasons.And Jay - your suggestions are great comedy.

Jaimoe Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Feschuck had every right to write doom and gloom articles. And realistically Brian, the Raptors organization was in the pit of hell as an organization before Colangelo was hired. One thing that was brought up on Prime Time Sports is that Feschuck is one of the only Raptors writers that shows his face at a Raptors press conference after writing an unflattering article.

Basher Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I agree he had every right to put those articles out, but I got so sick of them. I think Michael Grange mught be the best writer on the beat (Globe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
