    Lee Corso or Lou Holtz might work.

    Corso is too good of a guy. Holtz, though ... Scary.

    Posnanski interview on "Up to Date" on KC public radio right now (kcur.org)

    Very interesting so far. But if you're of the mind that Posnanski is an apologist, this interview probably won't sway you.

    I'll link to the show page. I'm sure the interview will be uploaded this afternoon.

    Addition: I hope some will listen to it. Adds insight to the process, how Posnanski has handled criticism, defense of his POV, and even some (non) discussion of his relationship with Whitlock.

    This book has sold under 35,000 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan.
    Simon & Schuster printed 100,000 copies.
    Does anyone expect it will do better with the holiday season upon us?
    It is no longer 'early in the sales cycle.'
    The public has not responded.

    Strunk & White say you need to get out more. And, really, better than a hyphen throwing a puppy out a window?
