Vecsey has written the “Sports of the Times” column (along with Dave Anderson) for the NYT for the past 30 years. He is the older brother of Peter Vecsey, though he does not appear on TV nearly as much. He as written numerous books, both on sports and entertainment, including “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” with Loretta Lynn.
I posted this column, because it contains no useful information that pertains to sports, and therefore belongs on the newspaper’s opinion page, not the sports pages.
So clearly, this is an obscure loose sphincter that happens to be spouting the drivel that the editor wants to put on top. Now even the sports page can’t help them with a positive revenue stream.
