He writes for a very small town publication that is owned by the SunTimes In this era of consolidation and cost cutting, his 'byline' appears not only in his little town paper but also the parent company Sun Times.

You still haven't demonstrated why he deserves to be called a hack based on just what you've read of him. So are you saying that any writer that writes for a small, hometown newspaper is, by definition a "hack"?

Funny how you get so defensive about some coach who berates an official and then goes on the record blaming a loss on the official, but then you'll call a local writer a hack without any justification.

He is a mediocre at best space filler for his paper. Of course just my opinion

'the ref handed the ball to the shooter'....................Really? the coaches called time out.........Really? Only AC did, hence no timeout. Did he ever ask the obvious question Why didn't he grant you a TO? Of course not. Why let facts get in the way of a good story.
