this is from espn's daily dime <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">1. Sorry, Chicago. I've given it some more thought and I still don't have a problem with Scott Skiles electing to keep Ben Gordon in a sixth-man role ... when he's healthy enough to play, of course. Gordon, for starters, is simply more effective when he comes off the bench at this stage of his career. He's also finishing games, which is all that should matter for a second-year man. The Celtics, remember, kept Kevin McHale as their sixth man for a good half-decade because the job suited him so well. Nothing wrong with Skiles doing that for at least the rest of the season unless it proves detrimental to the team.</div> Maybe I'm taking an issue with this when I don't need to but I hate when writers do this. No one in Chicago is complaining about Ben Gordon coming off the bench, who is he talking to? If he followed the Bulls he would have seen that they tried to allow him to start, which is all fans asked for, and it didn't work out. If anything I would think that Chicago fans don't want to see him start. I just don't like when writers address groups of people that don't exist or give generalizations that aren't true.
I could care less what espn writers have to say. They feel because they are part of the “ world wide leader in sports” that their opinion deserves more respect than that of anyone else. Don’t get me wrong I love watching espn, but the articles they write are often arrogant, and annoying. Though there are a few exceptions. For the most part though I never read much into any article they right unless it is an official report about a trade.

Eric Neel, Scoop Jackson and Bill Simmons for example, especially Bill. Almost all of his articles and columns are really funny.
