    That might be the most accurate portrayal of John Canzano that anyone could ever make.

    He writes well, even if the content is shit.

    A Ticket to compete in a Cantzano back handing (doesn't deserve the open palm or the fist) contest, I'd buy that!

    I don't know..... I have read A LOT of writers and he's not really a standout. Pretty average. Most of those contests don't read all his stuff. Probably only what gets submitted for consideration, and they think, "awww this guy is writing about the cancer kid that loves her team. Gold star!"

    With all of the fiction and melodrama he puts in his columns, I think he may have a future penning bodice rippers. I could even see him putting on a wig with long, flowing locks and posing for some of the covers.

    Then it was the content? Or maybe Pulitzer just has low standard, or maybe he did some favors for the Pulitzer Committee. I don't know, it had to be something. I don't even like the guy, but he won them for a reason, regardless of what the writing professors/majors on a message board think.

    The craft of his writing is fine. It's probably really good for sportswriters, who are traditionally the bottom of the writer's barrel. He has a formula, and sticks to it. He got lucky with a couple of cancer kid stories he exploited hard too.

    He's the Fresno State of writers.

    Looks like Canzano is doubling down. I think he embarrassed himself with his last piece.

    So Clownzanos follow up is going to be to bash the Blazers organization again hidden in plain sight amongst a yarn about how he wishes swell Damian Lillard was the owner. Just another hit piece in horrible disguise.

    I'll briefly summarize for you:

    "My name is John Canzano and I'm a used douche bag. Everything is about me. No matter what the facts are, I will spin it to suggest I'm smarter and more moral than everyone else. When proven wrong about a previous article, I will never admit it. I will instead write a follow-up stating the facts that proved I was wrong, really show I was right. Because I'm John Canzano: Used Douche Bag."

    John Canzano as owner of a sleazy strip club? I'd buy that.
