I'm sure something has been worse, but this is stunningly bad.

This article is bad on so many levels, I don't even know what to breakdown. The Chicago Tribune would like to wish Phil Rogers the best in his future endeavors.

I thought the Jock Sniffer hit an all-time low last week when he said the Sox traded for two 'old' pitchers in Jake Peavy (28) and Edwin Jackson (26). It took him less than a week to trump his own stupidity.

I stopped reading at "By Phil Rogers"

What useless dribble. The only redeeming quality of the article is that he used "myriad" correctly. But I stopped reading at that point.

That's the worst piece of journalism since Jay Levine went to a bar to interview drunk Bears fans.

Not an accurate title...I wrote a couple articles for the Iowa State daily when I was flirting with a journalism degree...

Just in case anyone missed it, wasn't it Stanton for Ozzie? Not Logan Morrison?

I'm sure if you go into the Rock Valley College newspaper vault circa 1998 you will see some not so great stuff from yours truly....I started my race baiting back then as I wrote an article stating that more black people needed to contribute to the newspaper.. :lol:

It was never Stanton and I'm not buying Morrison either.

Yeah, a little Google after I posted that, seems like there's a whole lot more to the story. First I heard was Stanton, and was confused by Rogers' mention of Morrison in the article.

That was a laughingstock, but this is actually ten times worse. Actually, if it weren't for the three jackasses interviewed (Mike McCaskey included), it would have been a good piece.

I didn't think it was possible but this article is even worse in print form. What a waste of space.

Mr. Rogers, what you've just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent article were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this world is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
