When did Jason Quick remember how to write?

Props to Quick for pulling his head out of his ass and writing a good article.

Wallace sounds like a good guy. I always worry about guys who's family doesnt come with them. Makes me wonder how focused and happy they'll be. But I totally understand why they do it when kids/school is involved. I'm sure Wallace's family will come visit regularly.

Ya I'm sure most players would rather trades go down during the summer.

I need to know right away, which is better, "Animal Cops: Houston," or "Animal Cops: San Francisco"?

My wife and I actually watched something called Hog Wild last night. Apparently, there are packs of feral pigs wrecking havoc across the fruited plains, and there are people who make a living capturing these menaces to our domesticated way of life. They use traps, dogs, night vision, etc. to wrangle the hogs.

It was quite the show, until my wife ruined it all by asking a simple question.

"Why don't they just shoot the pigs?", she asked. Why don't they, dear, indeed.

Bullshit! That story wrote itself!

They are consistently scooped by the national guys, even for Blazer trade news.

To his credit, though, every team's beat writer got scooped on the trade deadline. The only guys that consistently broke trade news that we heard from on trade deadline day were Woj, Berger and Stein.

Quick's downfalls are he believes too much in agents as his sources, and he maybe a little too emotionally invested sometimes. The guy is a good writer though when he wants to be. Those Behind the Locker Room pieces he did a few years ago were pretty memorable reads IMO.

Were they relocating them?

Were they relocating them?

No. In Hawaii, the kill them for pig roasts, and in Texas, the dog killed the gigantic boar.

I guess shooting them makes for bad TV?

For all my complaints, I much prefer Quick's writing style and content to Canzano's self-aggrandizing smarmy bullshit. There, I said something positive.

Ha! I saw part of that a few weeks ago. And I asked the same question. They'd rather set a pack of vicious dogs on them, then boast about how dangerous and manly the whole operation is, than just take the varmints out.
