I'm having fun imagining team huddles containing George Karl, Gary Payton, and Sam Cassell.

Calumny: Sam Smith v NBA

Some other ink stained wretches who make me laugh on occasion: Scott Ostler Bob Ryan Chris Dufresne Greg Cote Jon Heyman Oddly enough, I've never run across a satirical, female sports columnist. And I read a lot of columns.

The Chicago Tribune had a streak of columnists leave under odd circumstances. Lincicome was the first. Skip Bayless took off somwhat disgruntled by the heavy handedness of the management. For example, he wanted to submit *more* columns than he was obligated to, but was told no. They also bumped his column around the sports section a bit. Brother Rick's margaritas couldn't keep him in town, so he bolted. I suspect something similar happened with Lincicome.

Wilbon and Kornheiser are quite funny on PTI (Pardon The Interruption) and Tony's radio show has really picked it up a notch since his "Vacation" this summer. Less picking on other media types, more hilarious Mr. Tony tales. But neither really writes funny any more do they? Heck TK went Style pages for a while, and isn't "I'm Back For More Cash" sans sports too? Jes whunderin'.

This probably means I should have been clearer. I'm not encouraging links into espn.com columnists. Who needs to pointed to Page 2 anymore?
