Best national columnists?

Nah, that Snow guy's not a columnist, and he's not even in journalism anymore.

And slats, just pulling your chain. We get this thread every few months.

 

Mike Vaccaro is a great writer and an even better person. Same with Kevin Kernan and Phil Mushnick.

I've talked to Smith several times at NFL venues, and he couldn't be a better guy. He's ESPN's national NFL guy, and could act like a jerk. Instead, he takes time to talk and offer advice.

Last year, I met Wilbon and Wise. Both are great. Took time to talk to an industry nobody like me.

 

Stop fucking with the guy, Doc.
I mean it.
This isn't funny any more.

 

I know you're joking, but that would be a short thread.

Maybe the woman from The Oklahoma who caused the ruckus? Passan? Wasn't Michael Holley a columnist very young?

 

jemele hill is sooooooooooo awesome.

 

how has no one mentioned joe posnaski?

 

but i wanted it in bold, with gold stars around it

 

I'll double up on Vac, on both counts; been reading him ever since he was writing about Tom Chapman's dreadful Bonnies. As previously noted, Posnanski, Posnanski, Posnanski. Pretty much anybody at the Washington Post. Based on a recommendation from here, Ian O'Connor.

And do yourself a favor -- break out of the ESPN mold. They're not the only game in town.

 

nobody really cares to make a complete list, lorax. this is like the 400th time this thread has been created.

 

Beautiful.

 

Not much point in bookmarking Kornheiser, he's written one thing since October.
