Te'o and the blurred line of the social world

Talking up Thomas and Maddux while slapping down Sosa
So, I guess 12.5 percent of the Hall of Fame voters actually believed Sammy Sosa’s cockamamie Flintstones vitamins story. But 87.5 percent believe he cheated, and the voters kept him out and will forever. The amazing thing about the way the...

We're not perfect, but there is a way for writers to handle Hall of Fame controversy
