I tend to prefer reading the work of bloggers over that of professional sports writers because, like you said, they write from the perspective of a fan. As a result, their words ring more true than those that are regurgitating what they've been fed. I can relate to the bloggers; the pros are usually just part of the opaque curtain the team draws around itself. I used to think Phil was the best of both worlds, as a former blogger on the big stage, but now I think he's an arrogant ass. Forget it, who needs him? His radio station comes in soaked in static anyway.
