I realize we are all pissed off but blaming a beat reporter for the lost decade is asinine. There was plenty of veiled criticism during the [Redacted] and early Manning eras. It's a fine line that has to be walked between access and banishment. To say that he legitimized anything is nutty.

Disagree - Dan wasn't there when we really needed him to be. He enables the Bzzz era to continue.
