It saddens me that sports writer hacks get paid to do no research and write sensationalist articles to drive ad-clicks, while you guys get paid nothing and produce a thousand times better work.

The photography is spectacular but the writing is definitely below par -no where near as good as it used to be. In their most recent issue they covered the men's finals at the Australian open. They brought up the fact that men's tennis today is ruled by the big 4 - Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Murray - and then somehow the writer managed to draw the OWS crowd into that - the "1% v. the 99%" mantra that was all the rage a few months ago. I must admit I was stunned for an instant, but it sure helped me to decide against renewing my subscription. I have recently been wrestling with the decision about renewing with SI.

The guy challenged the kids manhood. That's a story, this was coach speak.

Some of the sports writers today could't come close to being what the old timers were. They wrote great articles. I don't remember them bad mouthing any colleges or universities, or players for that matter. The announcers on radio reported the game as it was played, not their opinions ..todays broadcasters are experts. Hell they referee, say the coaches called the wrong play at a particular time, you name it. Ok ..so i'm living in the past.

CBS seems to be sticking with its 'facts be damned - go with the story' approach. Pat - your 10:49 is sad, but true. Remember Red Smith? He went to ND. Kelly has been @ ND for 2 years, so I'm sure that he knows MORE than he needs to know about being under a microscope. IMO he's doing a darn good job.

I think CBSSports has become the new hair-pulling media outlet du jour.

And it's been that way for a long time now -- and getting worse. Professionalism has long since been subservient to entertainment: loud opinions, absurd predictions that when wrong require no accountability, and the billions required to gain access.
