It's amazing that in the span of a week the nation lost 2 of the truly great jounalists of our time, Jim McKay and Tim Russert. Though playing their game in 2 different arenas (sports & politics) they were quite similar in the way they went about their business...and that is with true professionalism and class. They both put their heart and souls into every story they covered and every person they interviewed. You knew when you read or listened to them that you were getting the facts and also that you weren't getting "beat'n around the bush." They were both thought of as THE journalist of their time when talking to others in the same field. Although Jim McKay was all but retired we lost Tim Russert at the top of his game & way too soon. Maybe it'll take the reflecting of their lives so the current and future generation of jounalists can follow in their giant footsteps. Thoughts and prayers to both the families of these great gentlemen...
bye...

- Thanks for visiting !!Holy Cow!!, a blog for the rest of us. By that I just mean a place where you can go to read some good stuff. I try to mix it up a bit with current events, some of my daily adventures, good places to eat etc., but mostly I end up writing about sports. It's my one true passion (with food & drink being a close #2) that I enjoy spreading the word about. With that said, sit back, relax and enjoy! And remember...Watch for deer!

Just read your blog for the first time. Pretty decent. I'm glad you mentioned Rick Reilly, he's awesome. I just wish he hadn't gone to Espn Mag, it's all hype and flash, no substance. It's the only place where a guy like Stephen A. Smith can flourish. Rick Reilly is too good for that, but I guess money talks. Good luck.
