10 years at ESPN can do some good
I really like the writings of sports analyst Andy Katz. Katz is a sports writing for ESPN. In his articles Katz does a good job relaying what he feels about the subject, but he is also aware of the truth of things. He does a good job portraying ethos and logos, which is weird for a writer of his topics [sports]. With most sports writers it is easy for them to hide behind the quotes from players and coaches. Katz lets the quotes be the least of his articles. Its hard to find concrete examples for but they are there. In an article talking about the Big East Katz wrote, "Clearly, this race is wide open, and tabbing any team ahead of the others may have been highly premature." This is a great use of diction and imagery.

I have yet to find sports articles interesting, but if this writer can actually utilize pathos and ethos than it would be a very influenced Article. But I think that if you look to something other than sports articles there will be a lot stronger ethos, pathos and logos.
