Attention AJC Columnists

[shock]

Would it hurt any of you guys to make a case for Joe Johnson being an Allstar in one of your columns???

With all your articles of Michael Vick, the Jackets playing bad, UGA having a bad recruiting season, the Braves lack of payroll etc, don't you think you owe it to your readers and fans of this struggling franchise to post something positive? When our community has something to be proud of like a Joe Johnson ( Our best player since Nique, respectful, class act who is having a spectacular year while being doubled teamed everynight and not having many other options) shouldnt you hoist him up into the spotlight?

Give the man some good press. He has most certainly earned it.

That would go against the nature of most Atlanta Journalist (to root against the home team)...

Most of these guys didn't support Deke for the Allstar games that he went to.

However, I agree... JJ needs some support. Hopefully all these coaches who have to work hard to try to keep JJ from getting 40 will vote him in.

[shock]

BTW, I should also say that I understand Sekou currently has an article about Joe being an Allstar, and the Atlanta Spirit putting out a YouTube video to promote it. Thanks Sekou.

I was referring to columnists, not beat writers.

"If anything, I'd love to see Marvin [Williams], Salim [stoudamire] and Shelden [Williams] get a chance to play in the rookie-sophomore game," Johnson said.

Joe is amazing
