- Miserably, Albert Breer is leaving the Dallas Morning Hearsay:
Former MetroWest Daily News novelist and Patriots beat guy, Albert Breer, will be leaving the Dallas Morning Scandal on June 26 to take a national job with The Sporting Dirt on July 7.

He also, *pant*, watched and studied game blear. No wonder he only lasted about a year at the DMN.
