Joba Chamberlain creates new words



ESPN has apparently invented a new word to describe middle reliever Joba Chamberlain, the darling of the network.

The word is "expessive." It appears that ESPN has combined the demeanor of the reliever (expressive) with their own coverage of him (excessive).

I applaud ESPN's continuing innovation.

We're a media outlet of sorts. We yearn for the old days of sports journalism. You know, before pie charts, news briefs and bluster took over your sports pages.

If Jay Mariotti, Woody Paige and Scoop Jackson can write prominently about sports, there's no reason a seven-year-old, a goth girl, several old men, a housewife and others can't. We're here to save sportswriting. We're here to tell you what to think.

Inspired? Me neither. Read up anyway.
