Mr. Berger is PO’ed about the latest news that the Leafs are the most profitable hockey franchise in the history of human civilization?

Ha! I was thinkin' the same...

I don’t read Berger. He’s on the list of people who’ve steered me wrong more often then right and he’s been on the list since ‘95. Since I don’t read him I can’t really comment, but what I have seen has all been garbage.

I honestly thought everyone was going to do Halloween themed posts and was worried mine would get lost in the shuffle.

Really though… Berger does have a good a pulse on what’s going on around the locker room. He has great access to everyone, and generally can get a story better than most people.

His problem is he is a dick when it comes to relaying info to us fans. If he could cut out the self adjulating bullshit and listener/readership insult train, he would actually be a good journalist.

crap

i came over here to post that exact thought…

all inall, i’m on DGB’s wave ;ength. The whole post just didn’t feel like Howie. I mean, some of it was funny, some of it was sad, but none of it PO’d me, because it was unfolding like a car crash. Him lashing out in every which direction…just weird.

i’ve actually read it a couple times now, and it all just feels weird…i’m very interested to see how this all plays out. half the comments are saying that howie’s right, and the other half are telling him to go hang himself. if those murderous 50% abandon howie’s blog, that might be a swift kick to the ego…

Riddle Me This

Has anyone here actually met a Berger supporter? You know someone that agrees with his mindless, anti-Leaf fan, anti-Leaf, anti-steak and lobster meal ramblings? I mean someone who isn’t a Sens or Habs troll.

Honestly now my suspicions of him writing his own comments to boost his positive image are viable after that schizoid blow up.

which reminds me...

“The always accurate media” line killed me especially because he followed it up about how the 3 wins in 4 was going to move the Leafs into their habitual 11th or 12th place.

Habitual? Does that moron know what the word means because if there is a spot the Leafs have not habitually been in over the past decade and a half it’s 11th or 12th.

I honestly wonder if Cox isn’t part of this whole thing somehow.

Berger took a few shots at the media in a recent posting (remember how 90% of the media swallow whatever the Leafs give them?) Then he concluded with a pretty obvious shot at Cox (mentioning how we wouldn’t go on and on about Jim Benning, Gary Nylund, etc.)

I wonder if Cox, or one of the other media bigshots, told him to go piss up a rope? And like the wannabe-popular kid who finds out nobody likes him, he decided to shoot up the school.
