great article with great points about the media. and also gives a really good reason why teo would lie. look at how much attention tebow and his mother got a few years back with her pregnancy story. and then look at every freaking story on espn before a big game (or horse race). they just seem to go out of their way to find a touching back-story about a player. in this case, it seems they got some help 'finding' one.
well done.

Writing something with that much truth and a little profanity sprinkled in probably won't help his cause in that regard ... but it was a great take with great content. I shared it on Facebook.
In terms of finding something to nitpick about -- for my taste, I think he's giving his readers a little too much credit with his writing sytle. Don't get carried away with the Thesaurus and flaunt all that Vocab. Words like feckless, vestiges, facade, obfuscate, nadir, hagiography are words people almost never use. One is good, two is okay, but after that it can get a bit distracting and even annoying when you feel you need to look up a word you don't know for the second God damn time while reading a sports column. Writers take: A+ Content of material: A+ Number of times I stopped reading it to look up the definition of a word: 3

when a football announcer referred to peyton hillis (because of his pic on madden)as an iconoclast i laughed my ass off. he should have just said icon, but no, he had to go for the gold.
