    Cockroaches probably write better sentences than these ...

    "Despite being the game’s most-willing passer of superstar status perhaps in history, if not since Magic Johnson, anyway, he is also the NBA’s most selfish superstar in relation to his team when it comes to his contract.

    "Three times, now, James has held franchises perhaps not hostage, but put their ability to build and put together the best possible team by not being willing to make a commitment before becoming a free agent."

    Those made my head hurt. I've seen better writing on discarded grocery lists in Giant Eagle parking lots. ... If only shitty writing was his worst offense.

    Not sure why Amico would want him associated with his website.

    Maybe someone with a keen eye for sentence structure can verify this, but it seems our intrepid pedo-reporter is now writing for the same NBA-themed website under a pseudonym. To me, it's the same schlocky writing, only his real name and face are gone. I know our country has bigger problems than whether or not this ass clown files NBA reports from his basement, but ethics matter in this business.

    It appears Don McCormack suddenly quit writing around Jan. 15 after that awful column that appeared in this thread (about LeBron James). Wheels89 posted that on Feb. 10. A look at his bio shows Colton Jones began writing Jan. 28. Looks like between Jan 15-28, somebody figured McCormack out, said something to Amico, and they went with the pseudonym. Wonder what ole Don has on Sam?

    "I don't know why Sam drug his old tired bones in here. He musta owed Don something fierce."

    -(that's an improvised line from Hoosiers)
