Buzz Bissinger gives us way too much information

    Interesting comment, and I sort of feel the same:

    Thanks for writing this. I knew Buzz when he was even younger. He was brilliant, intense and decent, not crazy, vicious or intolerable. It was a pleasure to see him rise; it is painful to watch him go insane.

    Humblebrag alert:

    Even then, Buzz showed an excess interest in designer labels. A Penn grad, he’d express an odd envy that I went to Harvard. I thought he was crazy. Without hesitation, I would have traded diplomas for a fraction of his writing talent, and I told him so. (And remember, this was before he wrote “Friday Night Lights.’’)

    No, I mean people, in general. At some point, folks veer away from such self-possession.
