    I've always liked Wetzel regardless, but he just jumped up a few points in his latest column:

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Au.uGSEESfyG__JDfquZrGk5nYcB?slug=dw-winnerslosers062806&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

    "WINNER: Dan Patrick
    So the dye job is unnerving, but he is exceptional hosting this thing. He is appropriately light, doesn't act like this is too important and, unlike Chris "You're with me, Leather" Berman, doesn't tip off the pick 10 seconds before it is announced with some horrible pun or play on words."

    Not only rips Berman for his bad puns, but also gets in the You're with me, Leather" reference. Awesome.

    Didnt someone offer to buy beers for the first person that gets "youre with me, leather" in print in reference to Berman...
    It's not print, but I'd say this qualifies...

    Great writing on something I otherwise wouldn't give a shit about.

    I also like the Duke Vitale reference.

    Wetzel is so good and so young that you want to hate him. But you can't he's a good dude. And if you offered to buy him a beer for the Berman reference, he'd refuse. 'Cause he'd want to buy the round himself.
