Who knew Cox was such a prude.<BR/><BR/>Cox is justified in criticizing JFJ and Leaf upper management, but he seems too eager to bash the blue and white and their fans(me included) on a weekly basis. The Tlusty incident was just another club for Cox to use in his non-stop bashing.mimo70https://www.blogger.com/profile/06082044952402272275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-43184059211209608062007-11-17T03:19:00.000-05:002007-11-17T03:19:00.000-05:00Great article, MF.

Exactly what the usual Leaf-based Toronto media doesn't subscribe to. <BR/>There is such a lust for Leafs copy in Toronto that the easiest (read: laziest) thing you can do as a journalist is to write lowest common denominator pieces like Cox's.

Your comments are thoughtful and intelligent.<BR/><BR/>And I am not a fan of Cox. He's one of those trashy journalists that intentionally goes over the line cuase it sells papers.

I used to think they just hated Pat Quinn but with Quinn gone it has only picked up. My read is that the Star is expressing fan discontent and directing it at management. Afterall 41 years is a long time to milk fans and show nothing for it. So is Cox going overboard - you bet.

I started reading Cox's stuff on thestar.com a few years back, and I really am getting sick of his constant contrarian, anti-leaf views. Sure, they haven't done much in the past 40 years to warrant much love, but neither have the Canucks andJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744774856513097222noreply@blogger.com
