    Too bad! He was great. Maxey is also very good. I wish Brian luck, he will be missed!

    Re: OT: Brian T. Smith heading to Utah

    Couldn't have said it better.
    I actually like Quick and think he's a really talented writer, but his objectivity is all lost.. He's like a reporter/fan now, and has injected his opinion into too many stories.

    Smith was a straight-to-the-facts kind of guy like Brian Hendrickson was before. Hopefully The Columbian hires a similar-type guy or else there'll just be too many emotional ups and downs if Quick is the primary source for info.

    I'll never forget the Quick chat on O-Live awhile ago where it sounded like he was almost about to cry on air about something, I don't remember what. It was one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard.

    What are they replacing it with? The "Stockton to Malone hour"?

    Quick's love affair with $amon was inexplicable and his pro-$amon bias was ever present. I've never liked the way he would rather write melodrama than report on sports. It seems like nobody gives him any inside info. Otherwise, he's not bad.

    Quick makes frequent appearances on the various 95.5 The Game shows, so it's not just a matter of what he reports in print, it's what he reports on the air too that colors my opinion of him.

    Excellent. The drop in quality from Brian Hendrickson to Brian T Smith was unfortunate, hopefully we go back to Brian Hendrickson level quality.

    Didn't Brian Smith just start working at the Columbian recently?
