Simmons and Gladwell: How to... Write

Found May 13, 2009 on ChiCity Sports Fanion:
This story (HERE) is how sports journalists should write/interact with their readers. Smart, witty, and creative. This chat makes the reader think, while still being enjoyable and funny to read. While I can't stand Simmons' Boston Bias, I love the fact that he writes from the perspective of a fan. And Gladwell, well Gladwell is just brilliant.
