I don't put Jim rome with the others because Rome is really just putting on a show, and doesn't even take himself seriously like the other dudes. He is just going for a laugh. now Albom just can't contain his disgust, especially when talking about black athletes. It just drips off him. If I see that dude in an alley, I;m going to kick his ass. Tell it Miz. I didn’t see TSR but I can only imagine… my own Mount Rushmore of worst reporters are Albom, Lupica, Rick reilly, Mariotti, and Whitlock…

All of us want to be famous athletes, but sports writers maybe more so, so what happens ESPN is created and eventually sports writers became "onscreen personalities" and you get guys who go out of the way to become the story, instead of telling it, and they become the Jim Romes, Colin Cowherds, Mike Lupicas, Mitch Alboms, etc... they all become caricatures of themselves much the way the athletes they criticize do. The envy comes from the huge changes that have happened in sports. Old white sports writers can't connect with young black athletes that are now making millions, while young, and old black and even young white sports writers can. You damn right Lupica, and Albom are pissed and will do anything to satisfy their egos. It’s a mixture of envy and ego.

I became interested in the media because I liked the responsibility of delivering objective news and information to the masses. I feel that many journalist either found law school too challenging or they were in too much of a hurry to serve 15 years as a lawyer before being appointed to the bench. They find it easier to be a journalist and become a judge from day one. The unofficial “Fourth Branch” thinks this is a monarchy and that the people must look to them on how to react to news stories.

Not too many of them will channel their inner Cosell and put their peers on blast when necessary. Miz, these guys run in the same circles.
