Perception is reality, the saying goes. Modern players can never transcend time, athletes only care about the money and the fan is never wrong. Yet, all you need to do is dig a little deeper to find the truth. As a freelance sportswriter, my job is to give the audience a story around what just happened. As a consumer, I expect that sports will always provide more than I bargained for. As a fan, my hopes are to be enlightened by more than points. Welcome to the mind of a sports scribe.
Talented indeed, but was never my cup of tea. In terms of hype, I tend to think everyone's overhyped (even my own favorites at times), but I've had too many people buzzing in my ear as if it'll change my tune. I've heard about the ghostwriting before, though.
Anyhow, I've been thinking about that topic and presenting it from a different angle. I'll investigate it further before I know how to proceed. As I'm reading this piece from FJM, I just don't get it (and as you figured, I'm from here). If I try to right now, I'll get a throbbing headache while going to bed.

Hating on Jay Z? You know he wrote for Dr. Dre? Proficient with words, but more about the whole business now, I guess.
Since you asked for possible topics, what do you think about possible east-coast bias in the media (example: a recent post on Fire Joe Morgan)?
