he is a good writer but this looks like a cut and paste job for the most part

News outlets these days want volume with some small amount of quality. When I started in the news business in 1997 it was pretty much the exact opposite. My quota back then was 4 stories a week, now for most reporters it's something in the 12-15 range, plus posting Twitter updates, doing video pieces for the web, doing a lot of smaller tasks that back in the day would've been handled by a clerk or an intern. The workload is unbelievable. So you're going to get quite a few pieces that aren't exactly prize-winners.

We are lucky as Saints fans to be able to read Holder and Tripplett. Two of the best in the business. Read some of the hot garbage other teams' beat writers are doing and you'll understand why. LOL
