We tweeted about it yesterday, but wanted to reiterate our sentiment that bookmarking Charlie Pierce's blog at the Boston Globe is a must. Pierce, a wonderful writer, grew up a Boston sports fan, but his range is not limited to just Boston sports; he's a bona fide sports nut. He wrote for The National way back when (some of our readers may not even know what The National was!) and he's a regular on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" (one of our faves). His credentials are pretty much unimpeachable, though if you are a Yankee fan you may have to forgive him his allegiances.
We'll add a link to the sidebar, but we recommend you do so on your own browser as well.

Personally, I don’t think Pierce is all that. A good writer, sure. A wonderful writer? Meh. But then Wait, Wait is my least favorite NPR program. I hear special guest Paula Poundstone and I’m changing the station and waiting for Car Talk and This American Life.
I do enjoy Pierce on WWDTM. I love Paula Poundstone. I think she’s hilarious.
he’s a colorful hack…i’ll give him that much…i don’t think i’ll be bookmarking his dreck, but thanks for the suggestion…
