He's by far the best sportswriter that Sports Illustrated has, an extremely gifted long-form magazine writer who just happens to write about sports. But if you listen to his NPR commentary pieces- I missed this one, but I've heard others- he comes off incredibly obnoxious, with constant attempts to find non-sports relevance and particularly political relevance in his sports-based commentary. He insists that he's commenting on sports and not on politics, yet last week's piece was a commentary on the presidential candidates disguised as a sports piece. It's insulting to my intelligence.
