Re: Terry Frei re: Jeremy Roenick's big mouth

If he's done so well with those other sports...why doesn't he write
about them more?

He went to law school...but did he graduate? I could go to law school
too, as could most people with any kind of bachelors degree. Not so
impressive, given some of the lawyers I've met. I think it is a huge
ego boost to have a behind the scenes pass to a sport that has huge
fad value/social clout in a place like Denver.

If he hates the field that gives him his meal ticket, he needs to find
another job. From how you describe it, he should have no problem
finding one, right? I can say this about him though...he's not as bad
as some others. Others with much more exposure (like Strachan)

I don't have the right connections to become a hockey writer in any
way that would pay the bills. And I actually know the game, so that's
a knock against me too. However, if someone approached me with a
writing job at the pay these guys undoubtedly make, combined with the
endless perks...I'd jump on it. Goodbye real world!

He's not wrong, but of course as a journalist with debatable credentials and insight, he's not uncovering some great hidden truth either. The meekness and lack...

... Well, it's not like he would be doing sports articles if he had the ability to uncover some great hidden truth :) ... Agreed. I hope we see some changes....

... Yeah he is, but his niche is not sports. He's so much better at other things. That's why he told me not to get into sports journalism; it's hard to get out...

What else is he good at? I am sure he's free to do that...but his attempts at writing about hockey still give him a very nice salary I am sure. Not to...

I am guessing he doesn't have a JD if he is still doing a mediocre at best job writing about hockey in Denver. If he does...he's wasting potential. So he has...
