cum grano salis

Every sports writer who composes this sort of nonsense should be required to let us see his or her copy as they submit it.

There is no functional equivalent of copy editors on the court to make sure everything is perfect before it is seen by the general public. Somehow, I don't think the demand for perfection extends to their own work..

Moreover, said sports writers should be required to tell us what boilerplate 1956 story they used for the annual "officials stink" column, and to tell us who is playing the part of Leo Durocher in this year's edition.
