Herald loses another reporter to the Globe

Adam Reilly has the details on Tony Massarotti jumping from the Herald to the Globe, where he'll become "the face and voice of boston.com sports." He also reports on Gordon Edes' replacement.

Dan Kennedy: Massarotti is a leading reason to read the Herald, so this is a huge, huge loss. Also shows Globe is taking weei.com seriously as a threat, he says.

Earlier:
WEEI to pose threat to Boston Dirt Dogs.

Unreadable. Is it too late to get Howard Bryant back in Boston? He seems to be one of the few who isn't a muckraking horse's ass.

Kennedy is nuts

As a commenter at Kennedy's blog said:

Massarotti jumped the shark with his "Pats fans are big stupid idiots" column. I wish nothing but the worst to him and it'll be great to have him and his whiny little girl voice off WEEI.

And him being a "leading reason to read the Herald"? You're out of your freakin' mind. That said, it is another significant loss to the Herald's sportsdesk.

Less than thrilled

Nice choice of words, Mazz

(From Dave Scott) "There will be a lot of trial and error"

Just what his new employers were looking for - lots of errors.
