With his epic mock draft fiasco as well as his abundant wealth of other 'insider' knowledge ::) (sarcasm), Sherrod seems to be well on his way to joining the ranks of the most inept and ridiculous NBA 'reporters' ::).

As bad as he is, however, he's only done so on a regional level, while Broussard is well known nationwide, and not just for sports reasons. 





As of right now, I still believe that Broussard is worse, but the gap is quickly narrowing, as Blakely is starting to show the type of potential that made him such a worthy replacement of Marc Spears in the first place (sarcasm) ::). I truly believe that Sherrod missed his calling as a 'reporter' for the daily mail, lol ;D, but I do think that he can get to that level (sarcasm).  He's clearly in the right environment and working for the perfect company (well, espn might be better for him long term, haha ;D) to get the most out of his 'talents' (sarcasm), and I'm going to enjoy seeing his 'growth', both as a person and a writer, moving forward (sarcasm).  Remember, guys - it's all about the journey (sarcasm) ;) ::) ;D.

While Blakely is great at making us Celtics fans look delusional (http://www.blazersedge.com/2015/5/12/8594279/boston-media-35-40-chance-lamarcus-aldridge-will-be-a-celtic) (well, MORE delusional may be more apt), I'd have to go with Broussard, just because he's taken insider trolling to the national level
I'm bitter.

It's not fair to blame a reporter for the correctness of his or her sourcing.

It is fair to blame them for the quality of their sourced comments and the frequency with which they utilize discretion in using them.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Broussard is the absolute worst, he is such a hack. Every time the draft rolls around he does nothing but steal wojs scoops and gives credit to "sources". Even though everyone with a brain knows his "sources" are woj's Twitter account. Blakey may have awful sources and has never broken a story before but at least he doesn't pull that garbage

I like your "prospect" approach :P
