Quick Read

When I saw graphics and the glitzy headline on Sunday’s front page, I expected Mike Wagner’s piece about Chris Jent and Lebron’ James relationship would paint a sterling picture… Unfortunately, the piece resembles Jent’s career… A lot of sizzle, very little substance… Rita Price’s solid, slightly muddled piece on the choice between daycare and economic conditions was actually better…

Robert Vitale (metro) types an exemplary piece on a proposed city “crash tax.” Unfortunately, Ken Gordon, Rob Halter, and Shawn Mitchell waste sports with three boring pieces… Gordon’s on OSU’s inexperienced cornerback core (his lead was particularly nauseating)… Halter’s on OSU’s inside basketball presence… And Mitchell’s on MLS salaries…

Finally Steve Wartenberg’s feature on financial crisis buzz words is ridiculous… Is this what this crisis has come to? We are examining the language of the crisis, as opposed to the crisis itself?
