Wizards center Brendan Haywood has done some work in the media and understands some of the job's pitfalls.

"Being in the media, it's not easy," Haywood told the Washington Times.

Haywood is a blogger, has done color commentary for Washington Mystics' games and some radio work.

"I've learned very, very early that you have to be politically correct because people have thin skin," Haywood added.
