What sports journalist do you go out of your way to read?

Joe Posnanski, Rick Telander, David Haugh, Wright Thompson, Chris Jones and Charlie Pierce.

 

Joe Posnanski, Bill Plaschke, Buster Olney and Jay Mariotti (honestly).

 

Olney, Mariotti (masochist), Peter King, Eric Wilbur (irritating but I read it), Bob Ryan (God bless him).

 

Pat Forde, Sally Quinn, John Feinstein, Bob Ryan.

 

Joe Posnanski, Chuck Culpepper.

 

Simmons and Caple.

And during football season: Forde, Schlabach and anyone else who writes about college football.

 

No, no. Not the sports journalists you go out of your way to avoid.

 

I've passed you on the street many times.

 

And you never return my nod.

*quivering sigh*

 

I used to read Lupica a lot, but that's curtailed quite a bit -- and not because of this site. I just don't get the paper anymore. I read Mike Vaccaro, Peter Gammons and Jeff Passan as much as possible.

 

Joe Posnanski, Bill Plaschke, Pat Forde, Gary Parrish.

I used to read J.A. Adande a lot before he went to ESPN full time, but I'm not that into the NBA so I don't read him as much these days. Aaron McFarling in Roanoke is somebody I read and I'm sort of surprised a bigger paper hasn't snatched him up.
