Some links to share

In the past week or so, I've come across quite a few exceptional pieces of writing. Here are a few of them.

Yahoo writer Michael Silver with a column on the return of Brett Favre.

Bruce Arthur of the National Post on the world hockey summit in Toronto.

I was very happy to see Steve Rushin return to Sports Illustrated and this is just one example why.

Dan Wetzel is the second of three Yahoo writers to be on this list and his take about what could happen to the Michigan/Ohio State football rivalry game is bang on.

Our final Yahoo piece comes from Jeff Passan and looks at how the Florida Marlins ownership duped Dade County politicians into putting up money for a new monolithic baseball specific stadium and what it will end up costing tax payers.

There would be few lists that could be complete without an offering from Joe Posnanski, who seems destined to prove that long form journalism will still have a place in the online world. If everything is written like his work, it certainly does.

And finally we have the recent blogging spat between Toronto Star columnists Damien Cox and Richard Griffin.

Cox started it with this, Griffin responded with this and then Cox seemed to really want the last word with this. Hasn't been much chatter since then.
