  • I had never heard of Mr. Zirin until this recent controversy concerning new NFL ownership. However, now that I've read several examples of his writing, I fully understand why he has been heretofore unknown. Poor writing, poor logic, irrational hyperbole, no concern for research or credibility, no sense of context or truth. Pure personal political agenda. Sad excuse for "sports" analysis. Thanks to this controversy, I've discovered another incompetent media professional who will not draw my consumer dollar or my advertising attention. But then I see no outside advertising here anyway, so enjoy your incestuous careers. Hope the money lasts.
