re: Who is the best journalist for your team, region, and national level?

Cecil Hurt is the best "for our team", in the sense that he's professional, informed, and doesn't let his bias destroy his journalism.

Overall, I like Ivan Maisel. I think he's the best of the national writers. I also like Pete Fiutak, though his anti-Alabama rantings this year were hard to read.

I can't read Stewart Mandel. Skip Bayless should be arrested for impersonating a human being.
