Steve says he should write about Pat Reynolds? Now, I like Pat a lot, but did you really think that one through Steve?

I just think that the timing of the article is unusual considering that the sports championship day is a week later. As bigs pointed out public interest in horse racing peaks right before the Derby and to a lesser extent before the BC and it always seems that Drape finds the most negative angle at those points. Put it this way the week before the Super Bowl football writers arent writing features about the draft.
