[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 168756, member: 2175"] Those were the golden years of sportswriting with great sportswriters. As you note, a great art is gone or near gone and reading sports pages and sports columnists now tends to be laborious rather than just plain enjoyment. One of my all-time favorite passages was in a book about Stanley Woodward, former sports editor of the NY Herald-Tribune. A legend. Covered the Army-ND game one year, Army got mauled, big time, and Red Blaik explained to reporters that the problem was a half-turn of the ball in the snap to the QB. In his column the next day Woodward wrote, "That is like blaming the Johnstown flood on a leaky toilet in Altoona." And now we have ESPN. [/QUOTE]
