Sports Columnist Bruce Dowbiggen

Bruce writes for The Globe and Mail.
He used to be on the radio, and perhaps still is, but not in these parts.
His column usually hits a couple of nails on the head. Since I'm not a hockey fan (never was and never will be....oh, if they cut the violence by 100% I could be persuaded to watch) his comments about the game are not of great interest to me.
Remarks about media, television, behaviour, Olympics, etc are interesting, and the least I do is scan his column.
He is much better in print than on air. On air, he comes across as a know-it-all smarty pants, and the content gets lost in the delivery.
Worth reading, from a sociological perspective.
