Mike O'hara's "voice"

It took me a while to pick a "voice" that I really liked. My passion is sports, so i dove into my local sports page to search for a voice who I really enjoy, and really would like to imitate. I started with perhaps the most popular sports journalist "Mitch Albom", after up on a couple of his columns I found that I actually do not like the way he wrote sports. When reading his sports article I felt like I was reading one from someone with minimum depth of knowledge about our local teams. Perhaps the writer with the Voice I most related with is Mike O'hara with the Detroit News. He isn't too optimistic, and he isn't a pessimist either. This is impresssive, because after so many years of covering a team like the Detroit Lions, you might think he had nothing but bad to say about the team.
