I find it to be from the "Lupica/Albom" School of let me pontificate on a subject and talk down to the reader.

I guess I haven't formed an opinion either way

Staples was very gracious and friendly in his emails back and forth yesterday. Are you thinking of Stewart Mandel (also of SI.com)? Because he's kind of a turd.

Nope. Although he does fit the profile.

Again, that's just my opinion. I started noticing Staples over the last year or so.

I think the worldwide leader has a better collection of football writers on their website. I'm fond of the work that their Conference reporters do in terms of finding links, interviews, etc. Maisel is very good although we all know that Forde is a jackass.

Forde Yard Dash!

Man, how self-important is that guy.

Hey, it's an accomplishment...

when every blogger on the planet writes at least one spoof of your work within their first month of blogging.

Derisive, spiteful mocking is one of the forms of flattery.

It reminds me of Terp's short-lived spoof on Forde's writing

Item!

My son (who is 9 btw) read one of Forde's columns

bashing Weis on of all things, recruiting, and said, "this guy doesn't know much about Notre Dame, does he? Can you just lie like that and not get in trouble?"
