Author: Tom Winter
Subject: I feel really bad that this one article spawned this. Tommy was the first writer to EVER travel to Olean in my 4 years at Fordham and to at least go to the Atlantic 10 tournament. His writing has steadily improved over the course of the year and he has done a much better job running the Ram than some of the past editors. He really supports Fordham athletics. I talked to Tom a few days ago and he said that he knows he was over the top and feels bad, but is surprised by the lashing he's had here. He's one of the guys responsible for putting The Ram online and trying to better Fordham sports coverage. Not trying to apologize for him, but everything should be put into context!
In reply to: RickFC77 's message, "Tommy boy should learn to take it like a man. The only thing classless and cruel about this whole incident was his article. To try and deflect blame to the alumni tells us more about Tommy boy then we will ever want to know. Good luck writing for the Pennysaver its about where you belong." on Wed March 16, 2005 22:44:12

  • I'm not surprised at his response. I'm way behind on this, having not checked the board for awhile. It is not a good article, but it really is not that big of a deal. He tried to be funny, and wasn't. Geez, that defines half of what Maureen Dowd writes. His response is not unexpected, but if he is going to do this professionally, he should get use to the criticism. In the age of online publications, blogs, e-mail and "instant access," we all turn into critics. I'll accept from those who know him that he's good at what he does and this piece isn't reflective of his work. But if he is going to do this professionally, then he should get use to criticism. Online publications and articles usually include a e-mail link to reply to the author. What was posted here, though over-the-top at times, is nothing compared to the vitriol he'll have in his inbox if he chooses journalism as a profession.
