It's an interesting list, with a couple of people I have never read, and have barely heard of.

 

The column from the Times of London was very good.

 

That Simmons one is classic. I forgot about it. That should make BASW, no joke.

 

Wow, that Michael Lewis story about Michael Oher...amazing. Talk about a kid you really root for. That's got "inspirational Disney movie" written all over it.

 

I hadn't seen the Simmons piece until this link. Incredibly funny. I wish he would do that more often, say an owners meeting with those from the Cardinals, Redskins, Bengals, other sucky owners.

I have a hard time counting the Lewis story since it was adapted by a book. But the book was very interesting.

 

Did anyone else find the Michael Lewis piece just the slightest bit creepy? The cover, I remember, was especially weird -- one big black dude surrounded by a covey of smiling white folk. The whole thing gave off a heavy Pygmalion vibe.
