Surely there was a time when writing this crap would get you canned.
I have a very interesting book, Deceptions and Doublecross: How the NHL Conquered Hockey, by Morey Holzman and Joseph Nieforth. It's filled with quotes from newspapers a century ago, when the NHL was just getting started and battling with other leagues for control of the Stanley Cup. The writing was more colourful, but just as biased and frequently as foolish.
