Assuming he was guilty, he does not really sound like the kind of guy you want on your team.

Every pop culture piece he writes, I read. Basketball - well, I guess I read more than I'm letting on. His top-40 tradeable guys, MVP arguments, playoff breakdowns...I guess it's mostly the football stuff I can't stand. Reading his breakdown of the spreads and whatnot, I couldn't care less.

The column is about Renegade indifference -- mine, and everyone else's. Is it really going to take that much away from your life?

Normally everything would be locked up tighter than a tomb. I can attest to this, because when I was trapped inside, every door, gate and fence was locked.
