Bernstein was also big into tearing down the culture at Penn State and college athletics as a whole. Can get a little "sports radioish" at times, but he's really good on social and cultural issues relating to sports.

Holy poo poo this is amazing. Just a fantastic piece of writing. If Phillips doesn't win some kind of award for this there should be riots.

Yeah, one of my good buddies married the daughter of an Iditarod winner, she herself ran the Junior race a few times, and it really does make people go nuts out there, Lovecraft missed out on a writing opportunity regarding the Alaskan wilderness.

If you have Netflix, the Top Gear episode where they go to the North Pole is riveting. The two in a truck put themselves through hell, and that only scraps the surface of the one with sleddogs. That the Iditarod is held at all is sheer madness.

Absolutely, I love that episode, especially when May and Clarkson realize they're driving in international waters, and there are no DUI laws, while Hammond slowly descends into utter madness.

It's kind of sad because there's a real PED problem in the Dominican (especially for young players) but poo poo like that poisons the well on actual discussion of the issue.

Okay, now back to your regularly scheduled programming, gently caress Dan Shaughnessy Really though how are professional journalists allowed to just berate players for a living with no possible repercussions, aside from lots and lots of pageviews? It's almost as if journalistic integrity/ethics don't exist anymore (they don't,  )

Shaughnessy has a long and storied history of being FSG/John Henry's go-to guy when they want to plant a story or make a point, so that's probably why he specifically has the freedom to do poo poo like that.

You'd think the Globe wouldn't be happy with the attention he brings, but it's not like that has ever been a problem for the employers of sensationalists before. Mariotti, for example, resigned because of the "lack of newspaper coverage" at the '08 Olympics in Beijing or whatever that's actually code for, after 17 long and wonderful years. It just gets more people reading their paper, so why would they complain? It does exemplify everything that's scared me away from journalism, though.
