Giving due

McClain.jpgI am a frequent critic of Chronicle NFL sports columinst John McClain's seemingly endless cheerleading for the Texans. But McClain is still capable of writing a good column on occasion, such as this recent one on the colorful fights over the year between various local coaches and players, on one hand, and local sportswriters, on the other. Why can't he write this way about the Texans?

Why can't he write this way about the Texans?

Because he has a million stories he can tell about the past and people he knows, whereas being a good NFL beat writer requires work -- and it seems that McClain at this point in his career just doesn't want to work that hard.
