I'm sorry for opening a wound that looks to have been healed (looking at you, Garvin and Outsider), but Plaschke is an absolute ass. He's one of those columnists who seems to have a job simply because he's had it for a long time. Every once in a while he'll come across a nice human interest story, but his sports opinion pieces are a disaster -- and that's not a good thing if you're a sports columnist. I'm glad Garvin mentioned the Rose Bowl piece. It was the absolute sorriest excuse for journalism that I've ever read. I've never been so angered by anything I've ever read in a sports section. He actually mocked Stanford players for saying they'd done a good job on Ron Dayne. Yes, he had 200 yards, but he had been bottled up for much of the game before uncorking for a 60-70 yard gain late in the game. Also, he had 30-40 carries if I remember right.
Again, I'm sorry for bringing it all up again, but I cannot be rational with Plaschke's name is mentioned.

Please clear the field! The game is not over!
