By JOHN P. WISE
One Great Season

Everyone's starting to kick out their year-end reviews. I've got a couple of them in mind.

Today's first offering is a look back at the 12 best pieces of sportswriting I read this year:

+ Satirist Matt Taibbi crushed LeBron James on RollingStone.com in July with "The Five Funniest Things About the 'LeBron James' Superdouche Broadcast."

+ Sports Illustrated college football writer Andy Staples told me he'd been waiting a long time to publish this wonderful tribute to his late mother, an Alabama alum whose alma mater won the national championship in January. "You Would Have Loved Tonight, Mom -- Your Tide Finally Won" is worth a bookmark. You'll enjoy reading it for the sixth time just as much as the first.
