Imagine if every sportswriter for the NFL wanted the players to wear leather helmets without face masks and nobody could wear gloves in snowstorms.

Imagine if every hockey writer wanted to bring back the days of Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard and 177 thugs on ice whose job was to kill anyone on the opposing team except a marquee star. (Think the WWE for real on ice)

Imagine if every Major League writer called for steel spikes in the face of every infielder trying to make a tag as it was in the days of  Ty Cobb.

Now imagine If every NBA writer wrote every column as if he wanted to physically kill any player he didn't like and/or  who participated in a game involving more than 80 points by either team.

Meet Charley Rosen, Fox Sports.com NBA writer.. This is the single most overrated, non value sportwriter I have ever read in my entire life and being sixty years old I have read moret than just a few. Jim Murray he ain't. . He's not Mike Kahn, he is not the nameless writer(s) for Dime Magazine. He's not anybody.

What Charley Rosen is, is colorless, humorless, vindictive, ruthless, vicous, arrogant, and I wouldn't be all suprised to find out he's near senile. His primary complaint seems to be that today's NBA players are not all like Wilt Chamberlain.

What are his credentials as a Sportswriter? Supposedly he's written around a dozen books on the NBA. Really? I never saw one much less read one. And I won't be going looking for one. Many people churn out books. Barbara Cartland was the Queen of Romance Novels but she was a dumpy dowdy old busybody with a vivid imagination. I hardly think she would be on anyone's list as someone you'd like to engage in romance with. Same with Rosen with basketball He coached in the CBA. Really? So did Phil Jackson and a number of other coaches who went on to coach in the NBA. Not Rosen. He's never even been an assistant coach in the NBA. And he's certainly never been a player. Rosen's defenders say "he's got a huge NBA I.Q." Absolute nonsense. Hubie Brown has a huge NBA I.Q.  Magic Johnson has a huge NBA  I.Q. Tex Winter, Michael Jordan. I could name a thousand and the name Charley Rosen would not come up.

What Rosen has is an arrogant air and a knack for writing X's and O's that convinces lessor minds that he knows what he's talking about. "Can do: Go to his left blah blah blah blah blah" What he does is get access to a scouting report book and quotes them if it suits his personal vindictivness and changes them it it doesn't . Nothing more.

The guy is a Clown. In this series on Charley Rosen I will document for you why this is the worst sports writer getting paid on the internet.
