Joe Falls Loves Sportswriting

Joe Falls has been and still remains one of the best and most knowledgeable writers in the nation. Most readers find his writing style to be enjoyable and easy to read. He is an excellent teller of stories and has a wonderful sense of humor. He also can be a fierce protector of justice if he believes people are being wronged or mistreated. Falls is blunt and not afraid to tell the truth. He is extraordinarily intelligent and chooses to write in simple terms in order to reach the widest possible audience. What good is writing if no one understands it? Falls is not perfect. He has made many mistakes, paid dearly, and does his best every day to improve. If you do not like his personal behavior, I suggest you speak with Joe about it before offering your gossip to others. Once you know the facts, you may decide it is better to keep your opinion yourself and leave people's private lives to themselves. I suggest you enjoy Mr. Falls' writing and talent and leave gossip out of it.
