I agree, though I personally don't dismiss it as schtick, per se. I think he reminded people that it's fine to be biased if you're honest about it. It's fine to be a fine as long it's on the table. It's fine to have fun with sports instead of gasping every time some MLB guy gets caught with PEDs or a college football player gets a DUI. He was/is a really good observational writer and humorist, which entails not only recognizing the humor in subjects, but getting it down on paper (or on the computer screen) in an articulate fashion.

I don't know -- I definitely don't read him as often now and certainly feel like there are times where his trying to write about all sports exposed him as not exactly an expert on certain topics. I definitely am not suggesting he's some important literary figure. But I do think it's a mistake to diminish what is a pretty impressive catalog of entertaining content (taking the columns with the podcasts, the 30 for 30 stuff and grantland).
