Dead at 78.
I loved to read his stories in Sports Illustrated as a teen. As much as he loved sports and as well as he wrote about them, he always kept things in perspective. His iconoclastic NPR spot on Wednesday mornings was always a treat. Ironically, I learned of his death after viewing the recent film, "Obit" about the obituary department of the New York Times. Worth the admission, even at full price.
