he's still the better half of that "dynamic" duo

Wait, don't judge him yet. He's probably going to dedicate a full hour today to bash Big East Football. Something original.

I didn't even notice Vinny was off today until Ron Cook mentioned it following the first hour.

Ron is actually a cook, it's a baking show.

FIFTEEN one sentence paragraphs in today's column. FIFTEEN. This one was my favorite:

"That's Greybull, Wyo., a really far off place I think you will agree."

Is he channeling Lewis Carroll or does an 8 year old write his columns?

In other news, the sky is blue and grass is green.

Why does Ron Cook always write columns that only seem to have the purpose of cheering up Steeler fans? Gets old.

That's what drives the money and eyes.

I'd take Stan and guy replacing those two. Though i don't mind Vinnie most of the time

Ron Cook seems like a miserable/misanthropic old man he fits right at home in yinzerburgh.

TWELVE one sentence paragraphs today. Christ. This man is a writer at a major metropolitan newspaper.

His first paragraph has nothing to do with the rest of the column and is completely superfluous and useless. And then, regarding Gay moving into the nickel role with McFadden's return:

Ron Cook the Hack wrote:
It's an amazing story.

An uplifting story.

A player who wasn't good enough as a starter being demoted to the #3 spot as a nickel back where he gets better matchups against #3 or #4 WRs is an "amazing" and "uplifting" story? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!

Ron Cook the Hack wrote:
You know that corny, old saying?

It's not your circumstances, it's your attitude.

No. No one knows this "old saying", because it is not a thing.

I hate Ron Cook (EDIT: to an irrational extent, I know).

Didn't really need a thread to prove this, but I applaud your efforts nonetheless.

Yes, I agree -- but I think I am going to continue to make fun of him in here. Its a good outlet for my irrational hatred of his writing. I don't listen to his radio show, but I understand he is somehow even worse with the spoken word, a fact that truly frightens me.

By all means, carry on.

Not so much a technical disaster, as just a completely pointless series of hypotheticals. What a waste of space. Why this man continues to have a forum to assault Pittsburgh's citizens is beyond me.

I've seen the one setence paragraph style creep into local sports blogs.

Who teaches writing to these people?

I'm not a fan.

:pop:

Did you hear Ron Cook talk about his MLB hall of fame ballot? That was as madening as it was entertaining....i'm glad i heard it just to reference it in the future.

Cripes, that article is even dumber than usual. He claims there's a scenario that would brought the Chiefs, a much easier opponent, to Heinz next weekend. Ron, the only way that would have happened is if they had beaten the Ravens, and then they wouldn't exactly be pushovers, would they?
