Mike Reiss Leaves Boston Globe for ESPN Boston

Patriots reporter Mike Reiss will make the switch on Monday from The Boston Globe to ESPNBoston.com.

Though reports of Reiss making the move to ESPNBoston.com surfaced weeks ago, Reiss confirmed on his Twitter page on Sunday that, "Yes, ESPNBoston.com is my new employer. My first official day is today."

Reiss was clearly excited for the new opportunity.

"I will be continuing my Patriots blog on ESPNBoston.com," Reiss wrote. "Also filed an initial piece on Tom Brady. Heavy Tedy Bruschi presence. Fantastic."

The site is scheduled to launch on Monday, coinciding with the Patriots' season opener on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills.
