Unpardonable Interruptions - How television killed the newspaper sports column. By Stephen Rodrick

Good read, but in some ways, why do people want to know these people's opinions? Why can we not get enough of Wilbon and Smith? Maybe it because we are taught not to think for ourselves. Basically any conversation about sports devolves into an argument about who's better and why. This is a good way to write an english paper, but is not for the general good.
