Another Posnanski gem...

Which, at this point, is really starting to sound redundant. It's the story of Tony Gonzalez and a friend coming of age. Enjoy.

I read the link dd68 posted and couldn't figure out what was happening. it's because he linked to page 4 of the 4-page story.

It is a great one. I was thinking about posting it here last night, but decided to go to bed

I hope his friend is a chick.

That was a great read.

Dammit. Too much egg-nog, plus a late-night viewing of Superbad. Thanks for the help.

a late-night viewing of Superbad.

I'm just glad you lived through that.

How can a supposedly good newspaper publish that kind of pure unadulterated ****?

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.

Hey. DJ Tubby was just working his corners, showing off his pimp hand.

he could be so good. instead he's a self absorbed piece of ****, though. it's sad, because it's true.

OK. One page in with Joe's column.... I already know this is going to be outstanding. I'll follow up when I'm done.

 

[tonysoprano]

All done. A few things...
1.) Superb. Not my favorite Poz column, but definitely amazing.
2.) It's encouraging for me as a writer to see this stuff cause it always reminds me to keep working hard, and helps give me a bar to shoot for
3.) It's also another chink in the armor of those who believe you can't write long pieces anymore in newspapers.

 

[MU_was_not_so_hard]

I've been reading Poz since he got to KC, and I'll still take him over anyone else in the biz 9 times out of 10.
Guy's fantastic.

Now, if you're looking for some humor, read the comments on both he and Whitlock's columns (the two posted here).

 

[HoopsMcCann]

i thought whitlock's piece was funny. if you're in that town or follow sports in that town, it's a nice piece. if you just come in and pick and choose and don't follow the sports scene in kc, i can see where it would seem like crap. but, for his readers, whitlock sets the tone -- for his local readers, the people who get the newspaper -- not the people who read him on the internet and like to complain about him for whatever reason
