This was shaping up to be a brutal exercise on the morning of Feb. 3.

Edit: Bonus grades below taken from comments courtesy of V.:
V Goodwill (News): B (disagree on Stuckey, needs to stop Tweeting)
V Ellis (Freep): C- (D on Frank?, you have to be kidding me)
D Mayo (M Live): C
J Rogers (M Live): C+
D Pemberton (Trib): B (surprised he doesn’t have a better gig)
M Payne (DBB): B- (too much like a fan, but that works with the Tay, Walker D and Austin grades)I’m a little surprised Feldman & Hayes haven’t gotten into the act.
Frankly, this team isn’t even worth wasting time over, grading them. L Frank gets a B in my book.
