Absolutely, Boswell is the quintessential local guy. Wanna know how local? If you didn't read it when it was published, check out the article he wrote about RFK in September as the Nationals' last game at RFK was approaching (link attached below). I'm not trying to take away attention from Sean in talking about Boswell, but rather emphasizing how important Boswell's column is on Sean, because, since Shirley Povich himself died, Boswell is THE D.C. sports writer. When a tragedy like this happens, all of the other area columnists actually ought to hold off their own columns until Boswell has had his chance to speak. It's too bad they popped off before hand, because they only demonstrated how un-Boswell like they are.

Thomas Boswell's column today is very good.

And so is Michael Wilbon's column today very good. If you want to bash Wilbon for not being "a local" like Boswell, have at it. Just remember at the same time to acknowledge that Wilbon has insights into growing up in something akin to Sean Taylor's enviornment that Bowsell can only speculate on.

Newspaper columns are there for the writers to express opinions and interpret facts the way the writers see them. Not surprisingly, these two writers - - both of whom are excellent - - see things differently.

Just because someone else takes a different view on a subject than you do does not make that other person a bad person or a stupid person. In fact, it is a lot easier to learn something from someone who disagrees with you than it is to learn something from someone with whom you agree on just about everything.
