I used to also watch The Sportwriters in Chicago which were basically a bunch of 70 year old guys like Bill Jauss, Bill Gleason, Ben Bentley and the younger Rick Tellander sitting around a table in a smoke-filled room talking about how bad Chicago sports were besides the Bulls. Now that I’m nostalgic over.Last edited by Sanders Fan; September 10, 2023, 08:05 PM.3,062 carries, 15,269 yards, 5.0 yards/carry, 99 TD

A lot of that stuff fell by the wayside when cable exploded and social media exploded. The lowest common denominator stuff that provokes with outrageous takes draws the attention.
In it's own way The Sports Reporters and that Chicago Sportswriters show were the hot take masters of their time, the surrounding media was even more staid.
I don't like Albom, I did like him when I was young and dumb. But he struck me as phony as time went by. He does have some good columns every once in a while, but it's hard to separate that from the phoniness I've detected in the past.

Albon to me was a sportswriter that grew beyond sports. Never cared for his radio show when he had it. As far as his writing goes, he is not a bad writer and like many writers that are widely read for a long time he repeats certain ideas over. He did write some great columns back in the day.
Tuesdays with Morrie is an excellent book. 5 People you meet in Heaven is solid enough but doesn't have the hard emotional feel that Morrie does.2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR

Or mailing in an article about how some Spartans were celebrating at the Final Four that they never attended, not that he would have known that because he wasn't there either?
That sort of level-headed stuff?
Fuck that greasy hobbit with a sandpaper dildo. Albom has no business writing about the five people you meet in heaven while he goes to hell."Yeah, we just... we don't want them to go. So that's our motivation."

I read the people when you die book and it was a decent read. Over the years columns were well written but I wasn’t some big fan of his
The guy I miss the most and soooooooo wish he could have seen this team is Tom Kowalski. That dude was f’ing awesome. He and Motor City Dan Campbell would have gotten along like a house on fireF#*K OHIO!!!
