When is the love fest between Terry Pluto and Page One going to end? My God. Enough is enough. Do we have to read his crap after every win? And then we have to read 20 inches from his “Scribbles” crap after every game. Mary Kay Cabot has the same sort of wrap up after each game.
Then we have to read Pluto’s book excerpt. Why don’t Susan Goldberg just can the entire Sports Department and call it the Pluto Department? For God sakes. If it’s high school football, a story about the football team at Case or a love affair with the Browns, does it have to land on Page One? …

You sir…are awesome.
I could not agree more. I’m sooo tired of the Terry Pluto love fest!
Too funny. Last I checked Pluto was a sick bastard with a porn addiction and a less than mediocre writing style. What a swine…
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,amen,amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen!!!!!!
I could not agree more. Most porn-addicted men are not plastered on the cover of newspapers.
Pluto’s great. You (whoever you are, nameless one) are obviously less than.
You prove the old adage they never boo a bum.
Terry Pluto is a fine man and a terrific writer.
jealous much?
I’d say Scene’s writers are a bit jealous! By the way, Mr. Pluto is NOT a porn addict; he proves what many in Scene seemingly fail to recognize – that people can change for the better. Mr. Pluto is a living example of that.
You don’t know what you got til its gune….anytime you want to give Terry Pluto back…we’d gladly take him back in Akron…he is one of the finest sportswriters I have ever had the privilege of reading…as for his porn-addiction…at least he had the courage and humility to admit to the public that he had a problem….and get this…he did something about it…
I would love to watch a Browns game then a hot, lesbian porn movie with Terry Pluto…Yummy….
Some of these comments make me sick. If you don’t like his writing then criticize him for that, but ripping him to shreds for his personal life (which he chose to make public, I know) is just bad manners. The guy is an excellent sports journalist the PD and its readers should be happy to have writing for its big-city newspaper. Whether he lands on the front page or not, or the amount of inches he gets, really has nothing to do with him anyway. If you want to attack someone for those two items, attach the editorial staff of the PD.

Ok, so we are going to use the same website that hookers use to advertise their services as an avenue to rip a newspaper writer for LOOKING at porn way back in his past. Interesting.
The “love fest” for Pluto is quite simple. He’s written some of the best sports books over the past 15 years. Look no further than the book “Loose Balls” which played a role in the screenplay for the upcoming Will Ferrell comedy “Semi-Pro.” I don’t know if he officially gets credit for it, but he should. Either way, he’s Ohio’s best sportswriter and it’s not even close.
