An open letter to all those that review and analyze films, music, TV, and books

Dear Critics,

Dear Critics,

I wrote two things today, so no Friday afternoon screed this week. Instead, enjoy this picture of Philly.

“Few men have virtue enough to withstand the highest bidder.”
– George Washington
I miss the old Medium.

Sports punditry and analysis is always full of bad arguments and poorly thought-out opinions. But the worst sports argument of the past decade concerns LeBron James.
LeBron has played in the NBA Finals nine of the last ten years and ten total. He’s led a team to the Finals in each conference. And critics point out that he’s won *only* four.
His record in the Finals is 4–6. And that means he sucks.
