Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times won the sports column writing category for the third time in four years, highlighting final judging results announced Tuesday in the 2007 Associated Press Sports Editors contest.

Plaschke has won the top columnist category back to back years and has placed in the top 10 eight of the past nine years. In the over-250,000 circulation division, Plaschke finished ahead of The Oregonian's John Canzano, followed by the Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy, the Kansas City Star's Jason Whitlock and the Washington Post's Mike Wise. In fact, Canzano was runner-up to Plaschke last year also.

"I'm feeling equally honored and humbled," Plaschke said. "I'm also feeling very lucky because every day I read columnists in all circulation categories who are good enough to win this award. Sportswriters are at the forefront of the fight to keep newspapers relevant, and I'm just proud to be one of them."


hahaha Dallas Morning News, seriously, you guys got me good.

I'd actually say he's even worse in column form. His baseball opinions are consistently wrong.

Plashke, obsessed by Juan Pierre.

HCYanks heckles from the shadows.

Plashke, still writing drivel.

HCYanks reaches for the Xanax.

Plashke, winning awards.

HCYanks opts for a six-story plunge instead.
