I placed the "notability" tag on this page as I can't come up with any basis for this individual's inclusion on Wikipedia. I don't believe this individual's works are widely read, and writing columns on a sports Web site is not enough under the "notability" criteria and the bio is nothing more than a brief summation of his column history alongside material from his sportsline.com bio. Contrast this individual with other much more prominent Internet sports writers such as Bill Simmons. I'm certainly willing to listen to arguments to the contrary, however. 70.22.96.29 01:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

This page should have been nominated for deletion under the AfD process rather than PROD. The initial author also should have given an explanation for removing the deletion tag, although I would venture to guess that it is self-explanatory in that the author feels that the individual is noteworthy enough to merit a page. I would tend to disagree without more evidence of noteworthiness or popularity as a writer, the NPR interview is a good start but the Anderson Cooper transcript is a mention in passing and is essentially worthless.
