terrible tuesday..

wut a crappy twelve hours its been..

first, my computer crashes and refuses to reboot. actually, it refuses to quit rebootin--stuck in some infinite loop..

in loving memory (but he'll be back)..
and second, my favorite column in the world--the only thing to look forward to in life--tuesday morning qb is gone cuz he (greg easterbrook) got fired from espn for some apparently "insensitive" remarks towards jews in last wks column..

i realize know one who reads my blog really cares, but im postin all the links here for my benefit so i can sit down and read em all when i have time--or when i get my frickin computer workin..

- some guys blog comments turned forum..

- slate.com's article..

- washington post..

- his apology on his blog..

- more comments..

- the petition to bring him back..

im actually not as disconcerted as i was last nite over my computer--its fixable and i have a few ideas on it. its just gonna require some patience..

but the firin of TMQ will certainly detract from the quality of espn.com. i actually got a couple of my co-workers really into the column--it became the highlight of our week. and now, this mornin we are lamentin this travesty. im sure it will return on some other site (the column originally was on slate.com) but if it doesnt, the loss of TMQ would be a dramatic step back in humanity's quest for progress and nirvana..

this sucks..
