So on those rare occasions when a sports story spills over to the front page, all of these hacks get the jones to do some real writing on issues even Congress seems to care about. See John Rocker. Ron Artest. Augusta National.
Hence, the spectacle of the mustard-stained ink rat who dines on donuts, ballpark kielbasas and press box buffets using his column to lecture a guy like Palmeiro about what he puts into his body.
