    Hed bust: Wear a Hannity for Prez T-shirt. That will turn her on. She'll be eating out of your hand from that point.

    It's really not a joking matter. This person, who I might add went on to become a columnist at a major daily, is a really good guy. The incident with the athlete in question is known to many.

    If you're going to belittle the topic, then why would you compile a list so that everybody can find the names more easily?

    I didn't mean to imply he wasn't. It just reminded me of that WKRP episode in which the Reds thought Les was gay, and banned him from the locker room. As I remember, Sparky Anderson visited the station and, assured Les was a woman-lovin' man, welcomed him back.

    Just imagine THAT plotline on a sitcom these days.

    If ESPN edited the crap scoop wrote for them, he'd be out of a job.

    Hey Tom: You know that sarcasm you were boasting about using on another thread? You obviously can't see it coming at you like you can coming from you. Next time, duck a little earlier.

    The use of "but" and "however" tells me that in ordinary circumstances, he would cease to be a good guy and your friend.

    Sort of like if someone would've said "Mike Wilbon is a good guy but yes, he's black. However, I consider him a friend."

    what? what the fuck are you talking?

    you were not, and are not being witty. in fact, i doubt you know the meaning of the word. you are by far the most stupid person i've ever ran across in all my life. you are so retarded you do not understand sarcasm, you do not get inferences, you do not relate if someone is being coy. you simply are a fucking dumbass, period. i've owned dogs who were smarter than you. i've passed bums on the street begging for change who were 100 times smarter than you. i've pissed on mushrooms growing in my back yard that are smarter than you. you are a fucking numskull, a dipshit, a dumbfuck ... in fact the best part of you, the few jiz that create IQ dna, drained down your daddy's leg.

    dude, really, honestly, you are a fucking idiot. really, stop responding to my posts and i'll pretend as though you don't exist.

    Please don't try to go Freud on me. The guy is a great friend, period. Those words were not intended to mean anything else. His sexual preference is his business. He's never stepped out of line on me. Not only that, he's a helluva columnist. He has my respect.

    My current sports editor is gay. Came out one night in the newsroom and just announced it. Kinda weird,the way it happened, but no one makes a big deal about it. I can't remember the last time he was in the field reporting, and when he was reporting, he had not outed himself.

    A bigger deal to me - IMO - is a local radio sportscaster who is gay (but not openly), and has a documented history of dating young boys. Legal, but young.
