Nice to see that some papers still have ample space for nothing.

 

[playthrough]

Aw, it's good fun, and pretty accurate. I'm tired of "pick six."

 

[Smasher_Sloan]

It's really long, and pretty obvious.

Collier is a pretty talented writer. I'd like to see his ability and that space spent on something better.

 

[Joe Williams]

That whopper is over 2,000 words long!

Hooray for space!

Sometimes, a guy who writes jokes should be allowed to just write jokes.
You ever hear of Jim Murray?

That whopper is over 2,000 words long!

Hooray for space!

Collier is good when you get him in space.

He makes a lot of hustle plays, the kind that don't show up in the boxscore.

Yes, I've heard of Jim Murray. I read Jim Murray. I knew Jim Murray.

That piece did not remind me in any way of Jim Murray.

 

[RustyHampton]

That was funny. A little long, but geez, people need to lighten up a little. Guy can write.

 

[SF_Express]

As I often find myself, I'm right in the middle.

Lots of good stuff in there.

Too long.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

If you've been doing something for 25 years, doesn't that feature become, well, trite?

 

[dooley_womack1]

He needed to make that one sentence.[/crossthreading]

Seriously, a great read for the biz, and for some readers. Just some basic year-ender fun, no harm.

 

[Editude]

The forced Big Ben beginning aside, what does this have to do with greater Pittsburgh? Shouldn't that be among a metro-level columnist's first considerations?

 

[Twoback]

People in Pittsburgh can laugh, too.
Or haven't you ever heard of Chipped Ham Sam?

 

[Smasher_Sloan]

People in Pittsburgh can laugh, too.

They'd better be able to laugh, considering Pirates season lasts six months.

 

[Twoback]

Who are these Pirates you speak of?
