I love prep rankings. It's all for fun, and that's what sports is about. And there's zero harm.

These people = one post from one guy.

Love it!

That's what I'm getting at. There's no way to compare putting down a dog and 9-11. The type of grief is totally different. One is intensely personal, while most of watched 9-11 from hundreds of miles away. That's why Hawk's premise was so misguided. If he wanted to say he was more emotional...

I liked the column because I read Joe every day and this wasn't his usual tripe. I thought he laid himself out there, and I applaud that. However, he made two serious errors. One, he could have totally done away with the 9-11 reference and been just as passionate about his love for dogs. I...

And then the teams we cover should be charged the standard ad rate for the space we give them, right?

I guess when you're seven for seven on your little unethical example list, somebody with admirable principles would have no choice but to stun you.

Then shame on you. No wonder you're sticking up for Canzano so passionately. You're justifying your own lack of ethics. The only ones you can justify are No. 5 if you weren't paid, No. 6 if you wrote it ABOUT and not WITH and No. 7 if you paid. You left out a lot of info.

No, the fact I doubt you shows I know something about hyperbole. There are veterans on this board who would have trouble naming 250 sports journalists of any kind off the top of their heads. And yet you claim to know so many of them so intimately that you can name that many with conflicts of...

And then the ethics are on them, not the reporter. Canzano's choice to accept money from a person he covers reflects on Canzano directly.

OK, so if Mizzou contacts his team of regional stringers and has each of them cull together a list in every major city, then he could come up with a good number of TV journalists with loose ethics out scrambling for a buck. (If that doesn't validate Canzano, then I guess nothing does.) I'd like...

No, you couldn't.

Then Canzano is a wart.

Another red herring. Canzano is not unemployed. The fact that he is employed already is of vital significance to the whole discussion because if he didn't work for the paper, then there would be no conflict of interest in taking the job with the radio station. So you stating that his options...

I don't know the Ohio papers that well, but Bud Shaw has always been one of my must-reads. If he's not the best in the state, I'd like to know who is (and from what I've read recently, it ain't Pluto).
