Along with all the praises in this article (and I say this without yet having heard the new record) Nelson has good timing in her vocal delivery which is one of the talents that makes Bob Dylan Bob Dylan.

Is great news writing a lost art? I can’t see AI replicating a phrase like Mr. Povich wrote here.
Shirley Povich writing in 1962, with the most immaculate burn conceivable of the Redskins awful, vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

Grew up devouring sports writing from Shirley and his contemporaries, and learned valuable lessons on composition, storytelling, and brevity from these wonderful historians. Your quote above is a perfect example of how they could encapsulate so much meaning in just a few words.

Povich was one of the greatest sportswriters ever. The demise of sports in the WPost almost surely has him turning in his grave.
