His recent stuff on Wall Street is great in explaining how the market was inflated, etc. Yes he is over the top, but you have to be to keep folks reading unfortunately nowadays. THe younger crowd needs the attitude and entertainment factor to read. I am sorry to hear him think Fletcher was a dumb move. London has basically been the only good FA move Snyder has made, other than the Haynesworth signing.

He's been doing a monthly article on football this season. He should definitely stick with what he knows.
