I was reading Silver's column on Yahoo, but I guess its not so much the writing as how its presented

"Henry's vision"
and lines like:
"Tragically, we�ll never get to find out what kind of man Henry might have become, how he might have been able to use the lessons he�d learned to touch his children and inspire others."
I'm willing to believe these things happen sometimes, but the guy had so many chances to do this and the tone makes it seem like he was going to suddenly turn into Tony Dungy.
I read something earlier that was much more waxed, but I can't find it now.
Might be my cynicism, but I have a hard time not seeing this more as "loser widows wife and three children" as opposed to a reformed man with a vision for his future (especially considering how he died).
