I began learning the sportswriting business very early in life.
Some people who love boxing might love Mike Tyson, but people outside of the sport are generally repulsed by him and therefore, repulsed by the sport.
Sportswriters have changed more than sportswriting.
My top three were Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain and Bo Jackson.
Cliches and adjectives permeated my prose.
I was also in love with the English language.
