When Keeping It Real On Twitter Goes Wrong ...

I was first clued into a young writer, Ryan Sonner, right here on SportsJournalists.com.

People really spoke glowingly of him.

I wonder what ever happened to him.

Bombed out last I heard.

Bombed out of daily sports journalism?

What a failure.

I guess it is the peculiar orbit of this place that the same names keep coming up over and over again — Jones, Thompson, the Gangrey crew, etc.

Maybe it is because of the ESPN affiliation or maybe it is because they'll mix it up on Twitter or here, on occasion.

Or some of the certain obsessions around these parts.

It is oddly fascinating that Scott Price, Chris Ballard, Michael Lewis are all acclaimed magazine writers yet no one spends that much time dissecting or discussing their work. (Has a GQ article ever been linked here before?) Yet some of them cruise through these parts and a couple of them have been kind enough to me to help with things I have worked on.

I've spent time discussing and dissecting their work on this board, with others, so I don't think that's fair. The threads don't get to be as long, no. The conversation often ends with one page. But their work gets discussed on this board regularly.

Agreed. A Michael Lewis discussion thread cropped up recently and was locked due to it's political nature.

Yep.
