Oh, come on Mike (Murray).

The poor S.O.B. has boat payments and child support to pay!

Help the poor guy out! We are part of a venerable tradition. if we

don't write letters to the Daily Herald what will Mike (Imrem) have to

show his editors? Plagiarism, poor spelling, inadequate (or

non-existent) fact checking are parts of the sports writer's very

being, along with the food stains on the loosened tie. They are just

doing their jobs. Now get to work on that letter!

of the previous year's publications since the tone is so similar. John

Canzano wrote a similar, although a bit less inflammatory, article for

the

Oregonian last year. The writers are simply trying to bait readers to

create a fuss. Don't take the bait. A Google search will see that

Imrem

has done the same thing with soccer. Plagiarism, poor spelling,

inadequate

fact checking ... all doesn't add up to much of a resume. I am

surprised

that the guy still has a job.

Go to http://www.procycling.com/news.aspx?ID=360. ProCycling quotes a US

newspaper columnist who says while Lance is good, several NFL, NHL and NBA

players could do what he did any day.
