So, does the photo say, "I'm cooler than you" or "I'm a big, fat douche"?

I tend to agree with you which is why it will be interesting to see how long the Tribune allows Scott to keep it up. Blogs are only as interesting as the personalities behind them and commercial sites can be accused of watering down their personalities in an effort to appeal to everyone.

There is no way a column on a commercial website will ever be a true blog. I wish commercial sites asociated with newspapers would just stick to what they do best. It works occasionally, such as Bill Simmons, but even then, i dont think it can be a true blog when there are limits on what the writer can do. The contents of the blog should be completely up to the writer(s). I want to know what the writer is thinking and what his opinions are, not what the editors think we should know about his thoughts and opinions. That being said, lets hope that he is at least better than the Eduardo Encina that does the Rays blogs. I read his stuff when i have trouble sleeping.
