i insult him for everything he write before the lockout. this guy flat out lies all the time. for three years everytime it was rumoured aro-und the league that a top player was available, the next day brooks would write that "slap shots has heard" that their was a rangers deal imminent and it would feature nedved going the other way. tkachuk, primeau, khabi...anyone who popped up. ive always thought he was a joke, so why would i stop now? he has so little credibilty to me that imo it hurts the pa to have this guy on their side. he could spout nothing but the truth and anyone who read him prior to the lockout would assume he was full of it. ocasionally, his ripping of his own team is at least good for laughs, but even then he typically singles out the wrong guy, or speaks only in hindsight. thats one of the main reasons i cant stand the guy, he just writes to get people all lathered up. kizla here in denver is very similar.
