Never said he did.
Of course Posnanski he is not. He is a beat writer.

But the KC Star Sports section getting national acclaim?
They don't break any stories of nationwide interest (i.e. the SF Chronicles and the Balco scandal), they don't cover high-profile teams like the Lakers, Dodgers, Mets, Giants or Yankees (let alone the Cubs or Red Sox) and their beat writers (like Teicher) flat-out suck.

"Sports Daily won top-10 honors for its Sunday sections and special sections. The Star also led all big-circulation newspapers in 2006 with seven top-10 finishes in the contest’s writing categories."
I don't really give that much of a shit about the Star but it is funny to hear people bitch and moan about the beat writing. They are dependent on the Chiefs organization. Who isn't all that information friendly.
So which way do CPers prefer to slam them because they will be able to either way. Either they pass on what they can confirm from the organization or they could go on unnamed sources and rumors that may or may not pan out because that is the nature of the process.
But what do I know THEY ARE THE WORSTEST IN THE HISTORY OF WRITING!!!
