I was hoping we'd actually have something interesting to read about Matt Calkins

I ripped him for being full of fluff, but then I considered that I've only read about three of his columns and I should be a bit more patient and fair. So far I cannot get through his columns because I feel like it's fluff and that he tries to manipulate his readers by ginning up a controversial stance and writing in a flowery, pseudo-clever way.

When Brewer left I was hopeful that we could get a new sportswriter who was actually enjoyable, and so far Calkins has been a disappointment.

Calkins is absolutely fucking terrible. Awkward, clumsy metaphors... and totally lacking in any original/thoughtful insight. He makes Roof look like F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Like the aged hulking ship that sunk? or the other one?
