Sportswriting- sometimes it hurts

One of my daily blog reads, Jeff Pearlman (sportswriter), put up a good piece today about a difficulty that comes with writing sports– the players' egos.

With the exception of Men's crew, I have been lucky with my teams, who, for the most part, enjoy seeing their name in print or respect me enough to answer some questions even after a tough loss. 

But it has been a while since an athlete completely blew me off, and I feel this guy's pain.

Ouch.
