Papa_Voodoo made a good observation in the "they sold their souls" thread ... "They need to stop giving 20 year olds story assignments" ... I think there is a 'changing of the guard' among the writer's ranks ... the older, wiser, more experienced reporters/writers who knew how to report on sports without all the sensationalism are retiring to be replaced by the first kid out of college with a journalism degree ... except for guys like Skip Bayless, Mike Florio & John Clayton ... they're a little older, but just never never learned the right way.
