      Yeah, I saw that after I read the article. I only remembered the Toyota.

      My attitude on them was what was mentioned in the article -- they are professional athletes and they can't jog in a few dozen yards?

              Last year, a Miami newspaperman asked what he planned on doing after baseball.

              "I think I'll just die," Ichiro said.
              After reading this article I don't think he's kidding.

                      1 year, they needed an outfielder.

                          Thesis aside, please tell me everybody recognizes that's terrible writing, though. It's like Dan Shaughnessy had a baby with a winner of The Bad Hemingway Contest.

                          I need this, people. I can't go to my grave thinking this is what we've become.

                            It reads like one of these celebrity interviews you read in the Style section of the WaPo.

                              All "journalism" has been infected with this, now. It started with those fey features in the NYT on some rich as-shole's Hampton house which eventually ate the entire Style section of every fishwrap.

                              When it jumped to sports it was combined with the worst sort of mouthbreathing juvenalia of talentless hacks like Kornheiser and Albom, all of who took the worst parts of Roger Kahn but didn't have either his brains or his sense of humor. ESPN then drove this into the ground with their formulaic sausage machine, culminating in the greatest tribute to both them and all sportswriting ever conceived. (Sorry for the crap quality; the original seems to have disappeared.)
