Revisiting Mitch Albom III

After reading this piece by Don Steinberg, I don't think I'm willing to cut Mitch Albom any slack anymore. As Steinberg said, Albom is "a media franchise", and he is the equivalent of any high-paid athlete in their field. He should be held to a high standard because he is setting the example.

If an athlete were caught in outright cheating (as Joe Niekro was, on national television), most sportswriters would, rightly, call for a reckoning. Albom was caught cheating, and we can see it as plainly as that nail file sailing out of Niekro's hand in 1987.

Albom should face some kind of reckoning.
