Great story. Tragic ending.

You mean King Dunlop, or the bleeding stopped? Yeah I know, both.

If MDS could write like that, he'd have a chance in the sports "journalism" world.

My secret writing technique is to use punctuation to make it comprehensible.

Book-ending the piece with a pat phrase or reference is the hallmark of supposedly "good" sports writing.

I'm not sure which Eagles writer, maybe Bill Lyon, would end almost every column like that. It got to the point where it was so forced and cliche it had the effect of making the whole article seem like crap.

I don't recall anything written by Bill Lyon being trite or otherwise lame.   He is/was one of the last of the giants of the business.

It was one of the other regulars then, sounds like Lyon took pride in his work.

I hope you spent it digging a solid ditch, running a couple errands and downing a fine liquor.

Chuggie will be over later to give you a lapdance.
