So, who is the greatest American sportswriter and comedian and social commentator? Well the answer is easy if you read the Houston Chronicle's syndicated column "The Couch Slouch" or watch Celebrity Poker on ESPN 7 or even, for you guys who have read newspapers for 3 or 4 years remember the column he had titled "The Man." The greatest is indeed Norman Chad. Likely it is only because Mark Twain is dead.
The man comments on a lot of things but his passion is football. he makes a living announcing poker which would be a total waste of talent if it did not pay the bills and allow him to do a regular column. The man is more then just an incredibly hot and sexy package. The Man has had more wives then I have children (3 for me). The Man understands why George Bush would be having lunch with Tom Coughlin to discuss Iraq war strategy. Speaking of the Iraq war the Man has picked the Arizona Cardinals (that is right, BILL Bidwills Arizona Cardinals) as his team of destiny the last two years. (Stay The Course!)
His link is here and you will notice that I am quoted at the end of the article in the infamous "Ask The Slouch" segment.

The Man is a God among men. I have had a irregular but always spirited email link with the Man along with deeply troubled friend and sometime breakfast companion Cary Mogerman (Super Lawyer, Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, winner of the Shephard Professionalism Award, great person and reasonably good karaoke singer). We have successfully (somewhat) counseled the man through numerous marriages and disasterously bad career choices. I once had the benefit of having the Man drink cocktails with me at the bar at the Paris Casino in Vegas (I believed the Man had recently been operating as a poker "shill" at Binions.
In any case. The Man is unheralded and now...in his declining years. He needs your support. I urge everyone to do the right thing and contact their local papers and DEMAND that they begin carrying his syndicated column. The Man has done so much for American journalism. Lets repay the debt and for God sakes lets find him another wife.

I agree the Man is perhaps the greatest American writer since...Gopnik. His passion, however, is BOWLING
Gopnik is of course fine for you troublingly effeminate east coast intelligentsia. Although I do not have the same passion for bowling as the Man I do like "The Big Leibowski" more then "Paris to the Moon."
