Bob Sturm Makes a Cry for Help

Bob Sturm has a real job. Well, he’s got a day job, anyway. He’s got a wife and family. And yet over on InsideCorner today, he has put up a 2,600-word post about the Cowboys-Falcons game this weekend. It’s insane — in a good way. As Eric has pointed out, I’m not a sports fan. So I don’t understand anything that Bob wrote. But I can tell — like when my doc shows me my EKG strip — that it’s important stuff, meaningful to those who’ve been trained to read it. Last night, Bob’s small children probably sat naked on the kitchen floor and ate dinner out of a cereal box. All the while, he was click-clacking away at his computer, breaking down every aspect of the upcoming game for us. God love him. Go, Cowboys.

He has become Norm. At that is not a compliment. It takes a large ego to think people will read his entire post.

@PR: Is that why Bob smelled like pickled eggs the last time I saw him?

I’m not sure why you’d make such an ad hominem attack on Bob unless you worked for ESPN. If you think his analysis is off, let’s hear it. I can tell you from having met the man, Bob doesn’t have a fraction of Gordon’s ego. Not even close.

Tim,

Not an ESPN employee or ESPN fan. In fact, if it wasn’t for noon-3PM on KTCK I would be a proud P-1 … guess that makes me a P-1.5. And yes, I think Bob’s analysis is usually correct even when he is just repeating what he has heard from TV broadcasters. I guess my complaint with his writing, as with his performance on The Ticket, is that you would think that a professional sports reporter with 10+ years experience would have learned to self edit.

Now you, Tim, when it comes to local journalists, are my idol. Direct and to the point.

Stay hard.
