Sometimes...

I pick on an article, not because it has facts wrong, or an ill-informed opinion, but because I just didn't like how it was written. Who am I to judge a professional writer? I don't know what the qualifications of a media critic should be, but I have a 10th grade education from a school that was the focus of a documentary on basketball. Seems qualified enough to me. So this article doesn't come from the usual suspects. It was posted on Salon.com by a new writer to my blog, Steve Almond. There's nothing wrong per say with the column, just the ending struck me as being...off:

The hit TV series based on Bissinger's own book is the quintessential example. Way back in the pilot episode, the star quarterback suffered a paralyzing spinal injury. The next week, his teammates were back in action, ready to "play through the pain" and prove themselves in battle. And we were there to watch – and cheer.

This is probably over-picky but it just kinda cuts the article off, without an ending. Maybe that's just me.

No case to close here really.
