Noeller Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 What a classless piece of scheisse, that Friesen... Seriously he and Wiecek contribute nothing of value when they write about the Bombers. Wiecek is actually more frustrating because he CAN write interesting pieces like the one about concussions and head trauma. Then he turns around and is an a$$ about the Bombers which just makes it seem more personal as opposed to Friesen's dog and pony show Wiecek is solid when it's something he cares about....but unless it's curling or horse racing, he's got no interest, and it shows. The dropoff from Tait (a legitimate CFL fan) to Wiecek is sadly noticeable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Diehard Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Ed Tait is a Class sports reporter, one of the best in Canada. I recall a well known Curler from our club had a long interview with Wiecek, when it came out in the paper there was not a word about their interview. It belittled his team etc etc. They totallyignored him for the rest of their great career.. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Which is why he's a Columnist... He is also a reporter. His reporting is better than his columns but he still manages to take digs at the Bombers when he is writing reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon37 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Friesen & Wiecek are a joke, I really don't understand why a paper hires them. Because no matter how much people whine and ***** about them people still read them and they probably sell more papers than the reporters do.

I don't think they sell papers or create hits. I'd suspect a Sinclair or Broadbeck does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueballz Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 They stick around because print journalism is a dying breed. No one wants to get into it, even radio is dying a slow death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrg Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Paul Friesen ✔ @friesensunmedia Welcome to the CFL and the #Bombers, Kyle Knox. No drug testing here. I can't this douchebag .. I've never seen anything positive come from him. It's one thing to be critical when it's deserved .. but finding negativity in EVERY little thing the organization does it just too much. It's like someone in the organization kicked his dog, slept with his wife .. pissed in his cornflakes all in the same day. It's relevant because Knox was suspended for PEDs in the NFL. So as long as I can find one thing you've done wrong in your life I should crap on you forever? Just because a person can find "relevant" reasons to act like a horrible person all the time doesn't mean they should. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much background, not much research or digging. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - can we expect anything else from a paper that publishes Tom Broadbeck and his simplistic 6th grade rants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
