Reading Jeff Pearlman’s 1990s Cowboys book and it’s an entertaining portrait of the interpersonal dynamics of traumatized man children, their use of drugs and sex to cope, and how they come together to turn into a troubled yet unstoppable force.

The other problem here is Lewis doesn’t know his audience. As in he has no clue who his audience is. In the article above, he’s pitching Fox viewers. A few months earlier, he’s literally pitching Semafor DURING AN INTERVIEW and has to be reigned in.
