I'm not sure I even know what overdetermined means in this context and yet it seems like exactly the right word. I think my favorite part of the Good Dude series is that apparently the good people in sports are so overwhelmingly male that there's absolutely no need to call it the Good Human series or something instead.

Or maybe he has profiled a woman at some point, I don't actually keep track, but even so.

Yeah, lol. What I meant by "overdetermined" is that Yohe takes these vaguely nice but utterly trivial and unremarkable anecdotes (not even anecdotes in a lot of cases) and uses them as ~proof that someone is a good person. It's annoying because a lot of it is the kind of thing I live for in my hockey media -- I want all the stories about Crosby taking rookies out for dinner or JSchultz saying adoring things about Kessel -- but Yohe making them out to be So Important is eye-rolling.

It is really remarkable how DK and Yohe both manage to talk about things that I would like to hear about in a way that drives me completely up the wall. It's a talent (and also part of why I don't subscribe anymore).

I enjoy Yohe's perspective [although the Trib writers are getting better again - Bill West I really like] but DK is like Rossi without Rossi's writing ability. And I don't often agree with Rossi - but the man can write. DK I feel like is just as inflammatory and off-base as Rossi and then can't back it up with good writing.

And I wish they would all get off the noted-misogynist Mark Madden train.

Yeah, Bill West is great. And Bombulie doesn't as often say things I find interesting, but I don't mind him, either.

We're going to have to disagree about Rossi, though. He can be saying something I completely agree with and I still find his writing to be really bad. It reads to me like how an emo teenager thinks sports columns are written.
