He makes Mitch Albom and Peter King look like Mike Lupica and Peter Pasquerelli.
If you're going only off his BBTN work, you're barely scratching the surface. Here's a great link for an example: Gammons Hall of Fame Speech |
Gammons trade deadline work is pretty ass. I know he gets used often by certain front offices but its no different then going to a message board and reading bs rumors from a fifteen year old kid at his computer.
His print work was good to great but I wouldn't say its any better or worse from other good writers.
The tv work now seems to be name recognition more than anything else.
I can't really put a finger on what or why but I seem to tune him (along with a few others) out when he is speaking.
