D.A. Declares Joey Galloway a Bust, Blogger Finds Pitchfork

Look, we’re not afraid to admit it.
We have crowned ourselves the King of Overexposure for a reason.
Local television station needs a last-minute guest to dissect the Bruins powerplay? We’re in.
Boston sports blog needs a quote on whether Hub Headlines Anchor Chucky Perks is really that awesome? Sign us up.
Boating insurance conference needs an emcee? Principal looking for a detention room speaker to keep kids off drugs? Check and check.
But the recent string of D.A. Show media coverage is not our fault this time around. No really!
Start with this recent blog post by loyal D.A. Show listener and emailer, BHL. (BTW Anonymous, eh? Coward! Who goes by initials!? Oops.)
“The purpose of this article is to document D.A.’s clear cut proclamation on Sept. 28 that Joey Galloway is finished, and this author’s opinion that D.A.’s proclamation was extremely and potentially embarrassingly premature.”
“D.A. went on many negativity-induced tangents throughout the evening where he stated that Galloway “has been a work in progress all season long” and is “not good anymore.”
“At season’s end, should Galloway be a true bust, a phone call or two to pat D.A. on the back is warranted. I, for one, would like to think D.A. will be wrong on this one.
Should Galloway proceed to “get it” and begin contributing in some fashion, I am calling on Patriot fans to barrage D.A.’s evening radio show with call outs of his premature conclusions related to Joey Galloway.
Laugh at D.A.’s expense. Label him as arrogant. It will be warranted due to how confident he was on the radio last evening with regard to Galloway’s career being finished.”
Maybe. But it was right. In fact, waiting until Week 4 to declare JG a disaster was too late. (To be fair, the author called the show and apologized when Galloway was eventually released. No worries. There’ll be plenty more times I’ll be wrong.)
Epilogue: BHL ended up becoming a regular tweeter and texter to the show. I appreciate his ability to admit a mistake. Good dude.
