I can't stand Rick Maese columns. I didn't like Laura Vescey's columns. But IMHO Maese is a big step down from her. At least she wasn't mean.
Today he decided to attack Bisciotti for defending Billick. I'll be the first to admit that I don't follow the Ravens very closely. I don't live in Baltimore anymore. And I'm a Baltimore Colts fan 'till the day I die. But even I can see that Bisciotti is a very good owner who runs a class organization. Supporting a coach who has a very successful past record is a class thing to do. (See: George Steinbrenner)
His last pervious column was about Mike Flanagan. What was the point of that? People have been talking about the fact that Flanagan seems not to have a defined job for months. Did the incredibly insightful Maese just figure it out?? Whatever else he is, I believe Mike Flanagan is an extremely high quality person, with decades of top level baseball experience. An organization could do a lot worse having a consultant on staff with his qualifications.
What is Don Zimmer's job? He is Senior Advisor to the Rays. Can it possibly be a bad idea to have too many experienced people on staff? Does everyone need a defined job? Is Maese an efficiency expert?
What exactly is Maese's job. Writing two columns a week, but only the weeks he works. Tough job. Glad I don't have to bear that burden!!!
I'm done reading Rick Maese. And during the time I save not reading his column, I won't spend it reading Peter Schmuck, whose name says it all.
