Donna Smilovitz, Bernie's wife, has passed away

He's a columnist, not a reporter. His personal voice being inserted into the article is exactly the difference between the two.

The dude is a gigantic a-hole. When I worked in TV, every interaction with him was painful because not only is there is never enough oxygen in the room for him and his ego, but his behavior and demeanor was immature, petty, mean and often unreasonable. I just don't know how he sees himself as able to talk down to people from five-foot nothing.

His personal voice in this context fits his ego perfectly because he could have left out "...on what it's like to be well-known" with absolutely zero change in the article and emotion. In fact, he could have stopped right after "My wife and I adored her".

Zero self-awareness from a hack of a writer.

Regardless ….. Bernie is one of our Tv family and our condolences go to him and his family at this time (it never gets easier—- ever)

Bernie if you see this ….. you are one of our beloved Detroit people and we feel your pain…. Best we can.

Better to have said something — even late, than not at all.

On a related note, I'd like to express my condolences to JP McCarthy's family. RIP.

Of course Mitchell Baum makes it about himself

Does it again in the Bobby Knight column. He was nice to him when he was writing his book about Bo. What sports column obituary would be complete without invoking the plight of the Haitian children? He's insufferable.
