A little background to today's quote. Gregg Doyel is a sports writer on cbssportsline.com and is an "expert" on college basketball. He seems fairly knowledgeable, but his style of writing is quite immature. If you have read any of his articles, you would describe him as a Jim Rome-wannabe (basically, a guy that likes to rip on people for no apparent reason other than he has both the means and opportunity to do so). Regardless, I do tend to laugh at some of his material and like any good journalist, he gets his readers to keep coming back. Every week he devotes a column to respond to the "Hate Mail" he receives. This week, one of the pieces of hate mail was simply fantastic and to which Doyel had no reply.
"I am an aspiring journalist, but my insights and writing abilities are limited. I was wondering if you could give me some career advice as someone who can relate to these characteristics and was somehow able to disguise them long enough to land a job at CBS. "
