Note to SW's...End the pop culture similies. What are you, sportswriters, or stand-up comics? These guys spit out trite set up one liners that can be seen from a mile away. Some sportswriters do, in fact, do it seamlessly e.g. Bill Simmons (who, by the way, is exempt from my attacks. he is a great writer, stays away from annoying politics, and just lets his readers have fun), Others, unfortunately, have realized his success and try to incorporate their usual analysis of sports by saying something that is totally manufactured and usually a step or two behind the rest of us. It makes me as uncomfortable as when parents attempt to "get down verbally" (Always, no, never forget to check your references...hopefully you got the reference, people) with their kids. Painful. Imagine something like this on the Sports Reporters (Affectionately known as "Hell" to the FEF)
Lupica: Tiger Woods's drives are as inconsistent as J Lo's wedding plans
Gallery of horrible writers: Hahahahahahahaha
Bob Ryan: The NBA Coaches are like they are on the Apprentice. Which coach is getting "Fired?"
Gallery: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Nice work, guys. A word of advice, when your intern writes these down for you, do not wait 6 months before using them...
In other news:
Sales of Russian Roulette: the Home Version increase...
We do not need curmudgeon reporters trying to appeal to a younger demographic. Talk about how bad a player is, talk about the need for a trade, etc, but do not insult the audience by playing the hip grandpa.
What is good for the goose...
