Joel Sherman takes off the gloves.

My only gripe is that this sort of negative analysis is years late.

I sort of understand why writers don't criticize their subject. They need access. But the price they pay for that access is credibility.

To be fair, it's quite possible that Sherman has mentioned this stuff in the past and it just seems more harsh because it's all concentrated in one place.

But my guess is that the writers are all pouncing on Torre now because Torre is in LA.
