ESPN Magazine Article Review

By Michael Ignasiak

I recently read an article in ESPN Magazine entitled "Happiness is a Warm Gun". The article is about a football player named Tank Johnson who found himself in a bit of a predicament last football season when he was sent to jail for violating parole and possession of guns. One of the most talented defensive tackles in the NFL, Johnson was released by the Chicago Bears due to his bad record and subsequently picked up by the Dallas Cowboys. Now trying to start over, Tank Johnson is getting a chance to play ball for a great team, a team that happens to have one of the best defensive lineups in the NFL. A well written story, the ESPN magazine article was packed full of interesting details and shed light on one of the NFL's most controversial characters.

ESPN Magazine is my favorite magazine - not just because each month it contains numerous sports articles to satisfy even the most avid sports fan, but because those articles are well written and provide factual information about the most pressing issues in the sports world today. If you are a sports fan who normally steers clear of reading, give ESPN Magazine a try, you'll be surprised at what a good job it does going "Outside the Lines"*.
