I’ve been doing this sportswriting thing for over a decade now, and I’ve covered subjects from all sorts of weird angles. But recently I realized that something was missing. I’d never broken out a gimmick that’s become a staple of the sportswriting game: The reader mailbag. Everyone else seems to have one, but not me.
I’m not quite sure why that is, although the fact that my readers occasionally make my brain implode might be part of it. But the bigger issue is probably that I’m generally pretty lazy, and curating a bunch of reader questions seems like a lot of work.
