    I kept reading and kept reading because it had its witty moments. But I just assumed there would have to be some decent revelation at some point. Right?
    Wrong.

    It’s his best format for sure. He has more real estate to include quirky anecdotes, and his tone is much better.

    You are posting anonymously on a message board. Which is fine. But it's not really that courageous to say that someone's work sucks without putting your name to it or putting your own work out there as fair game ... and then say, "if he has a problem with my 'you suck,' he can respond to 'Sports Barf' on sportsjournalists.com."

    Word of advice from an old head in the age of Substack and Medium, etc:

    It's OK not to publish everything you write.

    In fact it's preferable.

    Looking forward to the Bo Jackson book. And his writers podcast is really good (hat tip elsewhere on the board to whoever put me onto it).

    I enjoyed Pearlman's USFL book.

    That's a tough venue. How about a cabin in Pine Cove?
