Ratehim from 1 to10. 10 being the best.

I give him a solid 6. Summertime news is always the key to see what he might drum up but it wasn't anything worth wild.

Had a rough start. He always seemed to be kind of behind everyone else in reporting what was going on time wise. I think he has gotten alot better though since he has been around for a little while and has gotten familiar with the program.

I think Marcello has done a great job. He struggled at first b/c Veazey was comfortable with the staff but you can tell in the last few weeks - he is getting the same comfort level.

The thing I liked about Veazey and he would take numbers and put a blog entry about it. It was interesting.

He tries to hard and is most often unsuccessful.

On a side note 2HD is doing a pretty good job these days....or maybe his competition makes it look that way.

He seems to get a lot of his news from message boards. I think he tries hard and he's getting better but there is definitely some delight in taking pot-shots. I'm not whining about it like some folks, I just don't understand it. It seems like some reporters think they have to throw in negative **** to seem objective. If something negative happens, definitely report on it because that's your job, but taking jabs just to seem objective is a dick move. That seems to be BM's MO though.

I like him, but he's no Kyle.

Seems like he just re-hashes news from other sources. Maybe I missed it, but I'm yet to see him get a scoop. Which to me, a beat writer should do 50% of the time, especially in Starkville. Then again, I'm glued to MBs, twitter, and have a couple deepthroats so maybe I'm callused to his scoops. And hiswritingis rather vanilla to boot.<div>

I had Veazey as a 9. Veazy was a bit better of a reporter, but I wasn't a fan of hearing about his meals and golf and tennis. Marcello actually knows football better, and brings a bit more interesting viewpoints to the table, but his writing style isn't as much of my taste.

You guys that say he's terrible are just a bunch of homeristic paranoid lunatics. Yeah, the CL, ESPN, and the SEC are all out to get us.

I do not read his blog much, but when he is on the radio, his take on things is usually on point. Heard him the other day on Out of Bounds, pretty good stuff. Presented MSU in a great light.

I know there are many on here that don't like him but I don't believe they would actually like anyone that did not blow sunshine up their *** 6 times a day.
