Chris Erskine

Chris Erskine regularly writes the Fan of the House column for The Times Sports page, along with his Man of the House column in the Home section. His irreverent, off-beat humor columns never fail to shed new light on the world of sports viewed through one of journalism’s most creative minds. It is his first Olympics Games.

Agree with your comments about diving, but in the spirit of world togetherness you should of mentioned what the U.S. had in common with South Africa; sky-high rates of murder and crime, as well as swiss cheese borders.

Chris, I don't know this will ever reach you - the Times website is so unfriendly that I could not find a way to post a message to you, other than this site.

I looove both your columns but the one today on sports marriages brings to mind that you forgot Naomi Judd & Dino Franchetti.
