Rick Reilly has been doing it for years in the back of Sports Illustrated, and now ESPN Magazine. Sure, it would fit better in a different magazine, but it's not. I've always found it easiest to skip his article. Very easy. I think the fishing reports should be in the Living section to, as it seems they mention it as more of a pasttime than as a sport. I think I will come in here every week and voice my complaints.
Not worth the time. If what you want is an escape from reality, then why spend an additional amount of time complaining about how your time was wasted? Now, not only did you NOT get to escape from reality for 30 minutes while reading O-Live, but you spent an additional 30 minutes complaining about not getting that 30 minutes. (not YOU specifically, but in general) So why not do a 5 second scan of the article, and spend the 29 minutes and 55 seconds escaping reality as you please. Seems to make WAY mroe sense to me. But, some people just like to bitch.
I've said it many times before. When Canzano writes human interest pieces, he's interesting and engaging and worth reading. When he writes about issues dealing with the CBA or about what trades are possible, he needs to write human interest pieces.
Steve Duin was the original Canzano. He hated Oregon and Oregon sports teams, but there he was, the top dog in the Oregonian sports section. I cried tears of joy when he moved to the lifetime or living or metro or whatever section he pontificates on now.
IMO, when Canzano writes 'human interest' pieces, he's trying to win an award. I have no trust or faith that man has a soul. If he wrote 'human interest' pieces for the appropriate section of the paper, no one would notice. The sports section is his perfect platform.
Yep. Hope Duin retires soon so Canzano can take over the Cranky-Old-Man columnist position officially, and we get a younger sports columnist. barfo
