Who's a big market columnist that doesn't suck? I like Peter Gammons. 4 or 5 years ago that would've been akin to saying "I like Joe Morgan." The mass Peter Gammons hate has really died down in general over the past few years. Is it because he had a stroke or something? Nancies Seriously?? I see it as the other way around. Gammons is exceptionally terrible now. He used to be pretty good probably about up until the 4 years ago you reference. Once the Red Sox won in '04, Gammons became pretty awful. I was speaking more in general, not necessarily my opinion. My opinion is he's just another of many average crappy sports journalists. It was pretty funny when he was on ESPN saying Nomar wouldn't be traded just as the news came out on the bottom that Nomar was traded, though.
