I guess I don't see the rationale for saying Wojo is lazy. He's not an intentional shit stirrer, and his columns are generally well reasoned. Why parrot that worthless hack Jeff Moss' opinion?

I'm not inclined to judge a longtime columnist on the questions he asks at press conferences. I'm sure he has access that does not require him to be a blowhard publicly, like the late Drew Sharp.

My sincere apologies for the parroting suggestion.

But Drew Sharp was one of the biggest blowhards in sports media around here in his newspaper columns...

I noticed a few on air folks at 97.1 actually got to say goodbye and express their opinion on Bogey's departure (Valenti, Wojo, Jamie & Stoney), I remember back years ago when a local DJ was fired/quit a radio station, it was like that person never existed. None of the other jocks would mention what happened where is so and so, no explanation why that person was let go or left the radio station. Sometimes the local newspaper would have an article about said person, other than that , just so funny how that radio station acted like.."who"?? never heard of him/her....

Maybe the sentence was composed poorly: I meant to say that Wojo doesn't need to be a blowhard like Sharp used to be. Wojo's columns are infinitely better than Sharp's ever were. I was asserting that being a blowhard publicly likely means you're a blowhard privately. I'd also say that Wojo and Niyo are by far the best columnists in the market.
