THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

The NBA has the best of two worlds: prima-donna players and prima-donna coaches. Sometimes the worlds shake hands and create that symbiosis called champions, as with the Lakers. Sometimes they merely collide. I don't know that much about professional basketball, especially in these days of its descent into mortal dullness, but I do know Larry Brown, who I suspect like most top-rung coaches is a giant in his own mind, had trouble with His Royal Pain in the Highness Allan Iverson, and in the NBA, when the irresistible force meets the immovable object, the lesser-paid force or object gets it.

I want to see him coach Sneaker Man. He does, too.
