Recently, this fool wrote himself into a corner thinking he would be able to once again bash Bellotti. He made an assumption, however; a wrong assumption. You see, he wrote a column recently calling the 2008 Holiday Bowl a "must win" game. He did this on his own personal belief that the Ducks would lose and he would be able to ride high on his pulpit and "prove" he was right; that Bellotti could no longer win those "important" games.
The problem is, his assumption turned out to be wrong. The Ducks won and for the first time in a long time, he had to eat his own crow. This was fun for me to read, because I could see the pangs of frustration between the lines... this must have HURT Canzano's pride beyond belief... and that brought me great joy.
While reading through his blog posts this morning, I noticed some people referring to his writing skills... I kindly pointed out THE TRUTH about his history... I merely pointed out that he hasn't done too badly for an Oregon kid who had to go to Cal State Chico to play baseball. I merely pointed out that he was not even a journalism major, hence accounting for his lack of journalistic integrity. Rather than let a post where I merely stated the truth to go through, he could have simply chosen not to print the post. That would be understandable. Instead, he chose to COMPLETELY reword my post to read: (Interesting since his show is called "The Bald Faced Truth")
John Canzano was named national sportswriter of the year in 2004 by the Press Club of Atlantic City and his Associated Press awards speak for themeselvse. He's terrific. I wait in my driveway every morning for the newspaper and can't wait to see what he writes.
Now, anyone who knows me or has read this blog would know that I would never post such drivel about such a ridiculous excuse for a journalist as I have ever seen. Yet, there was the Clown named Canzano changing the words to suit his own ego.
That is wehen it occurred to me... Canzano has been on this bender against Bellotti for quite some time... but why? BAM, it hit me... Canzano cannot STAND the attention he thinks he deserves going to someone he thinks is beneath him... Canzano feels as if his profession is somehow, more noble and worthy of praise than that of a football coach. Especially a coach who wields as much power as does Mike Bellotti.
This is the epiphany for me, Canzano writes the way he does because his ego has been bruised. He has ALWAYS felt he deserved more glory than he received. His father, you see, was a pretty good baseball player... played up to AAA level in the minors... but sadly, young John never quite measured up to pops. He was never the best player... not in the state of Oregon, not in his league and not at his high school. He couldn't even get the local schools to give him a sniff... so he wound up at Cal State Chico.
All that time, John Boy fancied himself better than those getting more recognition... and his anger at the truth boiled within. Even in college, he did not study journalism. He says he wanted to be a writer, yet he never studied the art... wonder why? Maybe, just maybe he was looking for a way to "get back" at all those people who he felt had wronged him. He just did not know how, until he figured out that the written word carries a lot of power to get back at those who have done him wrong. Not being a trained journalist, he was never in position to work in any other capacity than a columnist.
Really, he became nothing more than a yellow sports journalist. Doing everything he could to anger others and draw attention to himself by doing so. But you might wonder, why such disdain for the University of Oregon.
Well, that hit me too... when you read Canzano's bio, you might notice that he briefly covered the Indiana Hoosier basketball team while Bob Knight was their coach still... well, during that time (1998-99) guess who the President of Indiana University was... yep... Myles Brand, former University of Oregon President... I will have more on this tomorrow!
Stay tuned, the psychosis that is John Canzano's obsessive hate will continue!
