-Pastabelly has come under increasing criticism in recent years, by critics who say he relies too heavily on his relationships with player agents -- praising players represented by agents who feed him information, and criticising players whose agents do not.  There have also been a number of incidents in which ESPN has creditied him with "learning" or "reporting" stories that had already been reported elesewhere.
