Found this article written by Mike Schur and featured on Slate.com. It concerns on of the more popular radio talk hosts and talk shows around currently, ESPN’s The Dan LeBatard Show…
I’ve known about Dan LeBatard for far longer than most out there because for years before he made it to talk radio he was a sports writer for The Miami Herald. I enjoyed his writing, which was often quite humorous but, unlike his radio show, did indeed focus on sports topics.
A curious thing: I get LeBatard. I get what his show is about.
But, unlike his writing, it doesn’t work for me. Yes, its goofy and at times it can be fun but… its just too frivolous for my taste.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the hell out of the article, though it did have this one curious error:
The Clevelander Hotel, on Miami’s South Beach, feels less like a hotel than a hangover you can sleep in. It appears to have sprung spontaneously from the sand, perhaps when a Lamborghini dealer spilled tequila on a magical turntable, and provides its guests with both a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean and the diametrical opposite of a good night’s sleep, thanks to the 24-hour Pitbull video raging in the outdoor courtyard.
Guys, we’re on the east coast. The ocean we’ve got at our doorstep is the Atlantic.
