A look back at the editor's introduction to the 2002 Best American Sports Writing.

Yeah. That was a thing. And ironically, it feels like his attempts to "Write a sentence that's never been written before" obscure his points at times.
Aspirational, but full of the “sniffing his own farts” that eventually put him out to Lupica Land in terms of relevance.
My day job is as a lawyer, and I can tell you that this advice applies to the legal world as well!
