Media Approval Ratings: Mitch Albom

Back when we were rehearsing on this here site, trying to talk the overlords into Gawker Media into the notion that a sports blog might not be a terrible idea, one of our first posts was about Mitch Albom's little ethical lapse at the . The surprise to us at the time was less than Albom had pulled such a stunt, and more that ... hey, Mitch Albom still writes columns?

We imagine every day Mike Lupica throws blunt objects against the wall that he didn't think of writing a heart-tugging syrupy book about some teacher that he had. Alas: Albom got there first.

Albom doesn't have that much to do with sports anymore, basically just showing up on "The Sports Reporters" every once in a while, but just because Christopher Moltisanti is starring in movies about your books doesn't mean you can't play in the sports sandbox every once in a while.

So: Do you like the Mitch Albom? Do you not like the Mitch Albom? Let us know.
