Today, Salon sports writer King Kaufman noted that he has been writing for Salon for ten years. King is one of the few jornalists I've ever followed consistently over a period of time and I'm not even a big sports fan. Soccer knowledge aside, he usually has a well-considered and entertaining opinion on whatever is in the news in the world of sports. Anyhow, that's a hamfisted way of expressing my appreciation for his column, which is a daily read for me and one of the main reasons I subscribe to Salon each year.
