Local sports bimbo writes extremely short, poorly edited, seemingly incomplete fluff piece
>> Friday
A big part of me always feels bad making fun of someone else's poor writing. Let's face it; compared to someone--say, Skip Bayless or Jane Austen--all of us are good writers, and compared to someone else--say, Ernest Hemmingway or Matt Christopher--we're all bad writers. But this little local news feature on Rex Grossman's moms and pops is even worse than Pride and Prejudice.
Here's an interestingly constructed sentence:
“We’ve been Colts fans, but since April 2003 we are only, only Bears fans,” said Rex’s father, Dan Grossman, said.
And the stiring close to this warming piece:
And if Rex plays with the same passion his parent have, the dream will be fulfilled for the Bears and the Grossmans.
All your subject are belong to a different verb form, Megan Mawicke('s editor).

That Matt Christopher is one awesome writer. I remember his book, "Tight End," it brought me to tears.
Damn, it's good to know we have other avid Matt Christopher readers on the YCS staff.
