I began learning the sportswriting business very early in life.
Sportswriters have changed more than sportswriting.
My top three were Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain and Bo Jackson.
All of journalism is a shrinking art. So much of it is hype. The O.J. Simpson story is a landmark in the decline of journalism.
I wanted to be a sportswriter because I loved sports and I could not hit the curve ball, the jump shot, or the opposing ball carrier.
I got to know Sugar Ray but I certainly would not say we were good friends.
