In light of reading another one of many stupid colums by ESPN's Gene Wojciechowski (The National Voice? Please. Dude is like 90 years old, for starters), I have officially decided that he is one of the worst writers that I have ever come across. This is the kind of writer that relishes on seperating between "good people" and "bad people" in sports, and his targets include the players that are often bashed in the media (Kobe, Bonds, etc); i.e- the names that generate interest towards his columns because no one would give a **** about his crappy writing skills otherwise. His articles offer no substantial reasoning, and are merely there to either add fuel to a situation, or bring up a really irrelevant and unrelated point, as long as he drags the aforementioned "bad people in sports" into the column at one point or another. I remember last year he wrote a column about D-Wade or Lebron (can't remember which one), and somehow managed to drag Kobe Bryant into the article, saying that Kobe should learn from them, although Kobe had absolutely nothing to do with the situation. It's writers like these that deserved to get fired in my opinion. I understand you're trying to make a living, but if your writing is that ****** to begin with, why are you even writing?? God, I am quite certain more than half of JBB could muster up better articles than he does. How do writers like this even have a job? Anyways, feel free to create yourt list. Some of the guys over at The Big Lead piss me off as well.

He wrote a column about the World Cup for ESPN and basically spent the whole article bashing soccer as a sport. If you're a sportswriter and you hate the number 1 sport in the world, and you don't even attempt to understand it, then you write an article about it ? What? Being a sportswriter and just point blank hating soccer is like being a movie critic and "hating drama films". It's just retarded.
