What the ****? That idiot isn't qualified to write for a newspaper in Atchison and he's going to ESPN?

First Affleck gets the Batman gig, now Teicher gets a job at ESPN? WTF? Well actually ESPN isn't journalistism based anymore so he fits right in.

I'm curious. Did Adam write articles that were not true? Too much homerism? Didn't align with your beliefs?
It's odd that beat writer gets so much consternation. |

Key word - ESPN blog.
ESPN is creating blogs for each of the 32 NFL teams. |

But I'm sure there are plenty of beat writers out there who can at least make their work somewhat entertaining. Teicher isn't one of them. |

If the guy is not leaving town and still writing about the Chiefs all of the time I would guess that a lot of his stuff will still be read by folks here. We might even have threads about something he writes.

"Alex Smith Hopes to Prove Critics Wrong"
"GM Supports his #1 Draft Choice" "KC Fans Hoping for Better Days" "Players on the Bubble Fight for a Spot on the 53" "Rookies Are Hoping to Make a Statement" "Clark Hunt Wants a Winner" "Chiefs Expect to Improve on their Record Last Year" I've now done Adam's job with obvious headlines for the next week. |

Twenty-year journalists should be able to rise above the level of "first year technical writing student" in their use of descriptive and engaging language, even when reporting banal issues.

Yet another reason why I gave up on that field. Teicher sucked and yet I could never in 30 years get to where he was at the Star.

Judging by twitter, alot of folks think much more of the garbage Teicher throws out than I do.

It'll be nice if his replacement can elevate the work on a sentence level, though, for sure. |
