Looks like Ben Fredrickson is headed to Fox Sports Midwest. Wonder who they'll find this time?
Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred
Life update: After a tremendously rewarding experience at the @CSTribune, I'm headed back to STL post hoops season to write for @FSMidwest.

He didn't have any skin in the game.. just there to do his job, good or bad news.J-Rod wrote:That sucks. Ben was a solid balance of perspective on all topics.....not a Wyoming hater or lover.

Ben's investigative work paid off. DC is surely happy he is leaving though.
Personally, I don't want a cheerleader as a writer. I'd rather have a journalist with an objective view. I think BF provided that. He may have been semi anti-DC, but DC did it to himself with his closed door mentality. I'd be a terrible writer about the Pokes because I have way too much personal interest in the team.

This is good news for the Cowboys. This clown had an axe to grind and he made passionate music to "cooking w/ Sal" Fritz Shurmurs daughter. Eric Schmoldt is missed compared to the garbage this Fredrickson blew. Good luck you red headed blimp.

if it seemed he may have not liked DC, maybe it's cuz he's a Mizzou Grad, and still stinging from when he left, just an ideaOrediggerPoke wrote:Ben's investigative work paid off. DC is surely happy he is leaving though.
