My reasoning is not that I feel targeted by them, though it certainly can seem at times as though there were trying to bring about the demise of sunbelt teams simply by having everybody and their brother write bad things or less than sparkly things about said sunbelt teams. Sometimes someone needs to call a team out even if we as sunbelt fans don't want to hear it, and they certainly know how to do that.<br /><br />For the sake of my point, Ill use baseball as the sport of comparison. I generally ignore Canadian hockey media and bloggers because one rarely finds a sunbelt baseball pundit marrying a sunbelt team to a Canadian team in a one-of-us-will-not-survive-this type of trade involving the marquee player of the Canadian team, where baseball will never overtake hockey. The reason for this is usually that the baseball pundits just are not as familiar with the Canadian team, and as such, really have no business speaking as an authority on the matter of the Canadian marquee player.<br /><br />So it kinda irritates me a little bit when a Canadian writer dons a very patronizing tone and speaks as an authority on a situation about which they almost always are not be a genuine authority. Speculation is fine. Hell, I enjoy speculating as much as or more than almost anybody. Its a fun way to pass the time. But pretending to be the genuine article and sees-all-knows-all regarding the situation is very improprietous of the media writer/blogger as a media writer/blogger.Mutton Sourdoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898978890290343230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-6149670103777322632010-01-08T22:27:44.050-05:002010-01-08T22:27:44.050-05:00On one hand, he (Duhatschek) is 100% correct; on t...On one hand, he (Duhatschek) is 100% correct; on the other, since he is a Bitter Hockey Queen of the Toronto media, if the Leafs got Ilya, he'd turn cartwheels...Wayne stuck in ALnoreply@blogger.com
