Subject: Upstate Ram is on the money re: the assessment of Tom DeCataldo and his article. Most of this country is not The Big Apple, it is Olean and Podunk, and all the whistle stops along the way (that's why G Dub won the election). Each venue has its particular charm and repulsion. The job of a sports editor is to put together an informative report of a sports event, not emulate Steinbeck's "Travels with Charlie", or in this case, "Travels with Tubby Tom".
In reply to: Upstate Ram 's message, "Upstate wants to know if this is the best sportswriting today on Rose Hill. I doubt that the name of Cataldo will ever be added to the list of FU writers who went on to make us proud in the pages of the NYT and elsewhere. I'll just dismiss it all as the ramblings of a naive young man who hasn't seen much of the world yet. Still, I wish he'd deep six the attitude. It's that NYC parochialism that gives all NY'ers a bad name. His rip on the weight of others is particularly inappropriate as I looked up his photo and would hardly describe him as a buff hunk at age 20. Let's see what 20 more years do to Mr. Cataldo. I also doubt that his visit to Appleby's is the last time he will be ordering a "table for one". Next, I expect him to write a column explaining why the people of New York (including residents of Olean and Western NY State) should agree to spend $300,000,000 so he can get a West Side Stadium, eliminating his need to go elsewhere for his entertainment." on Mon March 14, 2005 16:45:16
