Eric Koreen and especially Blake Murphy are two of, if not the best Raptors writers. Blake does a ton of research and it shows.

Without question. Blake has set the bar incredibly high.

It's no longer all about opinions. Blake and Eric give us the analytics that help shape our opinions.

I pay the regular yearly fee and I'm cool with it. It's worth it.

They are both terrible. It truly sucks that they are the "best" covering this team.

Curious, what sports writers do you prefer?

I am writing my first dissertation at the moment and have been stuck reading hundreds of academic journals. Boring, but my appreciation for well written publications have increase. I have to be honest, I find Blake to be well written.

Its been at $1 for months now.

They're getting a little desperate.

Good question. Either way a buck a month is not bad.
