    I'd agree with you 90% of the time, f_t, but this douchenozzle has had it coming for a long time.

    Nice - probably what you told your daughter when you booted her out.

    It's getting late don't you have some of your boring straight AP copy to layout.

    *sigh* Why can't we all just get along?

    Congrats to Jones, big time. Great writer, a phenomenal effort on a truly compelling piece of journalism.

    I was first introduced to Jones on these boards, and have become a better writer because of it. Thanks for your hard work, Jones.

    Uh-huh.

    Actually, you didn't even need that had you read back about one page.

    It merely took him about 18 minutes to figure out how low he could go.

    After your gutless comment about shotglass' daughter, Boom, I'm really glad to see we're creeping every so close to the moment when I pull you down on top of the grenade with me, ending both of our tenure's here. Sure, some people will be sad. The next generation of SportsJournalists.com bloggers will hear about the old days, like when we all kicked in and wrote the SportsJournalists.com novel, and when I tapped a vein of self-doubt and let it spill all over the keyboard like you with a bottle of Dewars after an extra innings Yankee game. Heck, maybe for old time's sake they'll even bring up all those times when you outed people, I tried to give them journalism advice I probably wasn't qualified to give, you called Steve Rushin's wife a horse, I started a thread about songs that inspired certain memories, and we both took Tom Verducci to task for his Clemmens reporting. And though it will be wistful, almost sad, good for a few laughs, it will be a brighter day because you'll be gone, passed out in a booth somewhere while someone calls you a cab, I'll be finding better ways to spend my time, and those who remain will be thrilled.

    I am a counter puncher. You fired the first cheap shot.

    Difference, DD, is that you would be missed.

    Don't do it!

    Did Stringer personally take out Wallace or D'Angelo?
    Did Marlo personally take out Bodie?

    Use one of your minions.

    Willing to play the maytr. It's what I do best, right Boom? Oh woe is I. At least they'll sing songs about the noble deed I did.

    No pour yourself another glass of liquid courage, find (most) of the right keys through your blurry vision and say something really awful that buys you that permanant vaccation.
