I have been reading his articles for probably the last 6 months. He is pretty damn funny. You can find his articles on ESPN.com (I think it is on Page2) and he has his own website, too.

Just wondering what everyone else thought.

I love his ramblings.

I used to read his columns all the time...but I don't find myself on ESPN.com very much anymore.

He's awesome, but I don't have the attention span for his long ass articles very often :P

The pop culture stuff is hysterical. Some of the stuff he writes actually makes me laugh out loud, which is an extremely rare thing for me to do.

Pretty much sums it up. I used to read his column religiously, now I definitely pick and choose. I skip about anything devoted entirely to Boston teams, as I think I've heard everything worthwhile he has to say about them. I think his ramblings and mailbags are the best thing he has now.

Love him, my favorite sportswriter. Been reading his stuff for a little over 5 years now. Every time I read his stuff I feel like he is "one of the guys".

He went downhill after his move to LA and has pretty much sucked since the Sox won the Series.

I just started reading his book yesterday.....pretty good so far.

All day I've been looking for his Friday NFL article, but about 10 minutes ago realized that it is only Thursday.

i agree, i cant read him much anymore since the red sox won the series...

and he totally stole the name of his book after the famous video shot where a rangers fan held up a "now i can die in peace" sign after the rangers stanley cup in 94.
