    Florio is a clown. Good for him for finding a way to be a clown and do what he does, getting paid whatever it is he gets paid. Dude's still a Grade A clown, though.

    Florio is a lawyer. If the blog comment about taking money is false, Florio should sue.

    To use Florio logic: No lawsuit indicates he took the money.

    The criticism of Florio is valid.

    I just want to point out, too, that that was a really good column by Gregg Doyel. It read well. Made an important point. And he stepped up and tried to make good on a mistake.

    Good on him.

    I can remember a woman making a scene at a baseball fantasy camp because Pete Rose wouldn't stop for an autograph.

    All she needed to do was bring money. Lots of it.

    The really ironic thing about this sort of stuff is that if you ever call Florio to task, or even try to have a little fun at his expense, within 10 seconds you get an email from him wailing about unfairness and "cheap shots."
    I've never encountered anyone less self-aware.

    Well, maybe Terrell Owens.

    Too much about Florio. Not enough about me. I have more to say, about me, but my Google alert just ...

    BTW that is a nice false equivalency Florio sets up in his self-defense post: Rooting for Aaron Rodgers (didn't sign an autograph) = Rooting for Michael Vick (dog killer) = Rooting for Ben Roethlisberger (accused rapist)

    One of those things is not like the other, Florio.
