You guys are being ridiculous.  The guy is extremely creative and a great writer.  His writing goes well beyond just sports.  He also has an eye for talent and puts talented people on his Podcasts and allows them a form to shine in writing for Grantland as well as the 30 for 30's.  I don't recall him ever purporting to be an expert in the way people are claiming he isn't.   I listen to pretty much all his podcasts and he has guests from all walks of life and can conduct a decent interview over a broad swath of topics.  He is petulant and can be smug but I dont think that is the same as arrogance.  He struggled for years as a writer for  lowly high school sports like volleyball and earned his station in life completely on his own talent.  The fact that he went after and continues to go after that  Roger Goodell only makes me like him more.  You can always count on ESPN to censor anyone going after their golden cow.  Remember how that show Playmakers got cancelled for no reason?  Oh yeah, there was a reason all right...
