"Someone Needs More Material"
That was Mike's observation with regard to the Sports Guy's latest column. In it, he offers a 5 point assessment of the error the Detroit Pistons made by drafting 18-year-old Serbian project Darko Milicic over Syracuse's Carmelo Anthony.
It was definitely a low degree of difficulty piece. It's a column that's been written so often that some global media conglomerate has probably reduced it to a canned-content formula:
| Insert over-rated European "stand-out" or high school "phenom" into Box A, well-known college player into Box B, choose appropriate sports cliches from the menu. |
But, on the plus side, Mike is writing again! The long winter is drawing to an end on Mount Desert Island, and we find Mike full of vim and vigor and taking umbridge at how the rest of baseball fandom enjoyed the Red Sox's opening day stumble.

If what I do is called "writing," then what Jerry Springer does is called "therapy."

And no doubt Geoff Bezos is convinced he can patent said content, as well as the single-click process for retrieving it.
