Rolling Stone covers sports? Really??

    They've always done a handful of features/interviews every once and a while, but the regular Taibbi column started at the beginning of the NFL season.

    He is a cross between Bruce Coslett and Ricj Kottite

    Matt Taibbi is my least favorite writer to ever touch a keyboard; actually, it's not his writing so much as his whole smarter-than-everyone-I've-ever-interviewed persona he cops in print and in interviews on shows like Bill Maher.

    Does this mean Bruce Allen wrote for Rolling Stone? Or was he just the governor of American Samoa?

    Now that the season is nearly complete, I'd say that Taibbi was wrong on Mangini. The fan base has come around on him (beating the Steelers will do that) and it seems the players have as well. If he is indeed fired, it will not be a total case of good riddance.

    Yeah, the Mangini column was well-written and hilarious, but it's turned out he deserves another year. This team didn't quit on him.

    I can see where his persona would turn you off, but he breaks (whatever it is he's writing about) down like Hunter Thompson.

    He's not getting one with The Big Show running the, well, big show.

    Maybe a little better start and Mangini doesn't doom himself. Too bad. Enjoy coaching Bulkeley High in Hartford next year, Eric.
