One of the best things about the NFL

[YOhio]

is the weekly ESPN column by Gregg Easterbrook, Tuesday Morning Quarterback. He's a fellow at Brookings and his column features a great mix of sports analysis, politics, and other interesting information.

Just read Easterbrook's column for yesterday... and uh... he kinda sucks.

The guy makes good points, but his writing is poor, disjointed and boring as hell to read.

And in this column he goes off on a lengthy rant about why the Spiderman and Superman movies aren't scientifically realistic or faithful to their comic book roots.

Uh...

Uh...

This is all the endorsement I needed.

But seriously, I enjoy his writing a lot. Especially the mixture of sports and general interest that seems to borrow LIngo. He has written several interesting articles in Atlantic Monthly as well.

He's kind of an acquired taste. I didn't like him at first, but after a few weeks he became my favorite sports columnist. Read him for a few weeks and you may appreciate him a bit more.
