Florio, to name one, has many more years of experience than Jourdan Rodrique.
For the years I've read him, he has spent most of them repeating yesterday. New ingredients, same old pot to keep stirring and stirring. I could name others but Florio makes my point.
She's not a Peter King or Rich Eisen or Bucky Brooks - she's a beat reporter, young in the trade, assigned to a team by her publisher. Same sort of job, say, that Bernie Micklatz held in St. Louis.
Who, assigned to the Rams today, is doing a better job? Carmen DiSilva?
Jourdan moves ahead - studies the game, learns, is attentive, gets to know the players and her sources on the staff, brings a measure of personal integrity to her work (I don't see snide innuendoes from her,) continually sharpens her prose style, tries to bring relevant information to her readers - like it's her job or something.
As she continues to grow in the profession she'll be noticed - and move on to bigger opportunities. Then we'll wish we had her back.
Good example. Even Bernie had his fans. I wasn't one of them. I liked Balzer much more.
As for Florio, I am not a fan either of his either for the very same reasons you mentioned. But even Florio has some fans who support him.
IMO, Jourdan is light years better than Bernie AND Florio!
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
