He sure has liked to bash the Packers now and then.........and likes to bash Favre alot. So, in his article rating sportscasters.....what photo does he use? You guessed it, one of Favre. Who does he mention numerous times in said article? Yes, once again, our guy Brett.....and the GB Packers
He gives the term 'Media Whore' validity.

In his defense, who else has the Goose had photo ops with? (though an image of him trying to stuff himself inside the plow cart might have been fun) And Tony does like to engage in a little Favre worship from time to time...

I wonder what'd happen if Tony tried a Lambeau Leap????

The stadium wall would have caved it..........after the mass exodus of fans trying to get out of the way.

Don't think Z is going to be making too many friends this way.

'Make' friends? This guy can't have too many.

Unless he offered me a nice bordeaux................

wrong thread

I said that, as you know JH, because Z tries to be a wine 'expert'.

He brought in the names of lots of players. I don't see any Packer bashing here.

[packinpatland]

I didn't say he was bashing...this time. What I meant was this, he writes not so great things about Favre and the Packers all year long. Yet who does he use in column? What sells magazines (articles with photos of Brett Favre)
He's using the GB/Favre cash cow to cash in.

Gotcha, misunderstood.

Certainly SI is cashing in on Favre, but Z doesn't choose the photos, covers or captions. No writer does.

He may not choose the covers. But I'll bet he has imput on the photos and captions........they are within HIS article.........why would he not?

Not in his job description. Writers don't write the headlines either. And if I was a writer in the position to opine weekly, the headline would be second on my list of concerns (after the actual writing).

Copy editors get the headline and photo editors get to choose photos. That's their area of expertise. Writers just supply the text.

Don't know that I agree with that but..............there certainly were enough mentions of Favre (even his wife, Deanna), McCarthy and the Packers in the text of his article.

No he's right, though at times photo choice goes to the page editor and depending on the size of the publication, the editorial assistant.
