Sporting News Today thread (what do you think?)

I spent lunch with it again today, and I am hooked.

A 35-page sports section every day with no bias.

I breeze through it and I am updated on everything.

 

Welcome. Now get me a beer and Bo some water.

 

So clever. Your ledes must be riveting.

You don't want to mess with this chick, dickless Dooley.

 

Torri--You've posted four times, and twice mentioned you're a 'chick.'

Why? It's 2010. No one cares.

ps, Dooley was being hospitable, and you are incredibly rude.

 

Maybe she's looking for dates, the kind that like 'em rude and nude.

 

Perhaps she wasn't aware of the tradition of "Fetch me a beer, Newbie."
It's not like it's in the SportsJournalists.com handbook.
It's not like there is an SportsJournalists.com handbook.
Give her a break.

 

If we're bringing this back, I would like to point out that I stopped receiving mine Friday morning.

I believe there was supposed to be a free trial, but that either didn't last very long, or I didn't sign up for it.

 

Handbook or no handbook, the response was out of proportion. I wasn't going to touch this again, but that someone would offer a defense flabbergasts.

 

Is this true?

Yes, it's true!

This man has no dick.

 

I had forgotten that from Ghostbusters.

 

Torri's going to need to nuke that handle and come up with a new one, I suppose. We'll know by the repeated references to herself as a "chick" which will automatically confer upon her .... well, what exactly?

 

Dools -- just venturing a guess here: She probably read your post quickly and responded quicker than that. We've all misread stuff and reacted too quickly, too wrongly. (That "delete this post" link has worked for me, once or twice). I'm not defending what she said, obviously, just offering a bit of empathy.
I loved your suggestion that she get Bo some water, by the way.
