    Night of the Living Blog-The FOX Writers (The Sequel)

    Sunday, August 19, 2007, 06:06 PM [General]

    Due to massive popular demand (well, there was that one request) here is the rest of the FOX writers lineup.  So far FOX seems to be taking it well, although two guys who look like Howie Long and Daryl Johnston have been cruising through my neighborhood in an SUV with the CD player blasting out "Highway to Hell".  Probably just a coincidence.

     

    This is Ken Rosenthal.  One of the finest baseball writers around and a field reporter on FOX baseball coverage.  The photo was taken just after Jeanne Zelasko had asked Rosenthal if there really was a character named after him in the Grand Theft Auto video game, and why people were still angry with her over the interview she did with that Arnie Hairwell guy in Detroit.


    Alex Marvez is the new football guy at FOX.  Here he is shown after watching fellow football writer John Czarnecki inhale the all you can eat salad bar at the Sizzler.

    Nick Webster covers soccer for FOX.  That's why you've never heard of him.  But once David Beckham captivates American sports fans and space aliens abduct every single MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL player on the planet...oh, forget it.


    Steve Byrnes-NASCAR.  Warren Zevon said it best in "Werewolves of London".  "His hair was perfect."  Byrnes shouldn't feel bad about the photo.  Nobody looks quite right the first time they smile.

    This is the first photo ever released of a Dime Magazine writer.  Don't let appearances fool you.  Just after this picture was taken he began talking smack.  Shortly after that he got jiggy with it.  He's now under a physician's care and resting comfortably.

    Mike Kahn is a frequent NBA contributor.  And not bitter.  Not....bitter...at.....all.

     

    Darrell Waltrip was once a famous stock car driver, back in the days when crash helmets were not mandatory and restraining devices were optional.  Now he roams the halls at FOX, smiling at everyone he meets and saying "Boogity, boogity, boogity" over and over again.  The good news is he's stopped sitting on top of the Xerox machine and going "vroom, vroom".


     "So, Mr. Bond you seem to have fallen into our trap.  Most excellent."  Jay Glazer is wasting his time writing about football.  This is the face of a 007 villain, not a sportswriter.


    Why is this man smiling?  There's no smiling in sports writing.  Something tells me Adam Schein has just placed an order for 16 large pizzas and sent them to Mike Khan's cubicle.  And just when Kahn was making progress with that anger thing...
