Isolation Thought

Ralph Wiley died today. If you've never read Ralph Wiley, you missed out on a lot. I remember stumbling upon him about 20 years ago during his SI days. This was when sportswriters on television were a rarity. I always thought on the surface he had "the young, angry black man" persona down perfectly. But after reading and listening to him a few times, there was a lot of power behind those words and it wasn't an act at all. I don't think he ever lost that punch and I'll miss reading him. A major loss for everyone.
