I don't read his stuff so I am not a fan but I don't dislike him either.

But why all the hate from so many here? He can't possibly be the worse media member that covers the Tigers. Is he?

Just curious.

Ppl hate him because he is more successful than they were at that age? Jealousy i suppose. He is good and todays show was heartfelt.

+1

He has a show too?

He's well on his way to a great sports media career. People ridiculed him when he first started out because he had no contacts, no access and didn't really have any news to break. Now that he is possibly the most plugged in local media member when it comes to Tiger Basketball (after Parrish, of course), people are just seeing green (as in envy, not dolla bills).

Yea..Hate is something that has to be learned, practiced and handed down to the next generation, until it replaces all other emotions and rational thinking.

It's kind of lethal to the person who uses it, so Hate has to be parceled out in very small modicums in small bursts. It will kill ya, you know. Use it wisely.

Not true at all. I don't hate anyone, but I don't like him as a sports contributor. He's not funny or talented, and I find nothing of value in his observations. I find him extremely annoying and can't listen when he's on. Here's a better question; what is he good at? What value does he bring to the station?

He is perfectly free to talk to recruits and occasionally gets his own info. If he has any access to Pastner, that is a very recent change. He used to steal Roar's info and admitted as much.

Like he stole the Deandre Kane news. That blew up in his face real fast. He basically told on himself.

You're kidding, right?

Grant has about 10x more good info. Maybe because he isn't trying to be someone he isn't.

Even GP got on JM's arse due to some of his tweets, and GP did it right on his show.

And the next post about Tiger Football, may very well be his first; whereas ROAR has put out multiple articles w/in the last 7 days.

Lastly, I don't know if anyone HATES JM - I know I don't. But I don't like to listen to him on the radio, and I don't give him as much credit as some people do.
