The last time we wrote about Miami Herald sports columnist Linda Robertson, we ribbed on her for being duped by a couple of Broward guys pretending to be real Russian basketball fans. But this time, we gotta give her props for penning a well researched piece on New Times columnist Luther Campbell.

Robertson does a fantastic job justaxposing Uncle Luke’s raunchy past to his present career mentoring teenage boys on and off the field.
