Report: PD Hires Tom Reed as New Cavaliers Beat Writer

[mcfly]

I can appreciate MSB purely for the sweet and sour aspect. Tom Reed could never report anything and he would be an improvement.

 

[Noonan]

Judging by his Twitter feed, this Reed guy has a habit of consistently tweeting news and opinions. That sure will be a nice change in PD Cavs coverage.

Thank goodness and if I just hope he has either the passion we have for basketball or the drive to get his job done to appease the hard core fan base. Just about anyone on this board could have done a better job than MSB.

Reed did at least some writing on basketball and the Cavaliers while he was at the ABJ:

I think he also was the AP reporter for awhile.

Guess this means I won't be going to my interview for the PD job.

I've read some of Reed's work in the past, he's a lot better than anybody else they currently have. Going to be a lot better reading the newspaper next year.

From the PD twitter account (still staffed by Boyer):

"Welcome Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch as the new Cavs beat writer who will likely take over this twitter acct when he arrives mid-Sept. I will be covering Cavs, too, just not traveling as much."

I read that as she'll be blowing some member of the Cavs staff.

Another thing that drove me insane about Boyer was that she would post at least 3 times a week that she was having "computer issues". She had a godamn computer issue in every arena.

To me it is clear that she tried to pick up where windy left off and is not nearly intelligent or tech savvy enough to pull it off.

She literally didn't know how to open a browser window to Twitter. She was that fucking incompetent.

It's twitter ... all she had to do was be able to send a text message ...

And there's the problem.

If Kelly Dwyer and MSB can become writers/bloggers than just about anyone can? Lets nominate one board member to represent us in a real blog/column and I would like to nominate myself ( just kidding ). Maybe Ben or if you want to go a little crazy/funny go with the man called x.

 

[BuddyCowley]

All I want to know is what his screen name is.

 

[TheAdmin]

Unfortunately RCF doesn't have a relationship with Mr. Reed. Trying to correct that now.

 

[Taiter]

Reed is good. He writes / wrote for the CBJ's blog, which is really informative. It'd be even better if the team wasn't so awful every year...
