Yeah, I read that yesterday, Bunce is a damn good print journalist and has plenty of personal insight and knowledge to make an article entertaining and enlightening; can an English sports journalist win the Pulitzer Prize?

I'm going to sound harsh, but he's a competent and at times entertaining writer, but he's light years away from Pulitzer quality.

I quite like the one of a private plane packed with prostitutes and drugs but I'm not an athlete.

He's a bit of a hack, really.

I constantly wonder whether a lot of what he says is true. Not big facts but the details. Some stories just aren't 'sexy' enough for Bunce so he applies his own artistic license.

He openly admits to weaving myth, legend, fabrication, exaggeration and truth in these types of yarns. Do we care? Not really.

I do like Bunce in print, my only problem is he likes to report the dark side a bit to much. But I guess thats what sells.

Go along with that to some degree.
