For those that haven't forgotten Sid


So, for those of you that haven't lived in 'Sota since college, your memories of Sid Hartman may be a little fuzzy. He's the old dude that writes the 'jottings' style column in the Strib sports section. His main contributions to published English prose appear to be (in no particular order): a) sucking up to Carl Pohlad; b) sucking up to Glen Taylor; c) hating women's sports before Bill Simmons made it cool. At any rate, even if you don't remember him fondly, you should still check out this good old fashioned screed from my man Britt (with a little KG talk thrown in - Britt does my Boston trade one better...)

  • Thanks for giving Britt some love, J. He has been such a great read these past couple years, and his intelligent analysis somehow still makes this team fun and interesting, despite the declining championship and playoff hopes. It's a serial, and Britt does a great job highlighting it.

    I never really read Sid unless I am sitting there on a Sunday with the paper open and figure what the hell. He still does bust his hump to all the Sports in town. But he always takes the team's side.

    Didn't he have something to do with the creation of the hated Lakers also? Or is that another larger than life tale?
