How to get attention: have no conscience like this AP sports bro'

First headline on Dahlberg's 4/19/08 article on SportingNews.com:

• "Being named in the Mitchell Report has been a curse"

Later, 2nd headline on Dahlberg's article on SportingNews.com (they posted it a 2nd time):

• "Dahlberg: Mitchell Report has been a curse"

Both articles contain the following statements from the author:

• "Being named in the Mitchell Report wasn't just bad for reputations. It's becoming a career killer.

• Sure, it's only a few weeks into the season,

• and only a tenth of the 162-game schedule has been played.

• But trends are emerging

• that have to make even the most gullible fan think twice about what his or her favorite player might have been doing to become so good.

• The evidence is, of course, circumstantial.

• There might be a dozen other reasons why players named in the report are struggling,

• though first suspicions are often best."

"First suspicions are often best." By a member of the Band of Brothers, the BBWAA. And Dahlberg's also won awards from the AP Sports Editors. Listed in the APSE website in 2005 as having won for the third straight year in sports feature writing. About 3/4 down the page.

• P.S. Someone has decided this is good. (sm)
