The Simmons Site

That's why I voted for Kodos.

 

I tried to make this point a week ago and got hooted out of the arena. You may have done it better, though.

 

Ugh.

 

It's three posts worth for the CSU newbie...

 

That's some grave dancing. I wonder if Downey regrets it now?

Unlike everyone else who seems to have read the National back in the day, I never read or even saw an issue in my corner of the world then. Much like the late Spy, neither made it to the middle part of America.

As a newspaper junkie then and now, I wanted to see the National but could never find a copy.

Back to Grantland, teh Jones' piece on why Boston sucks was pretty awesome when you realize teh Simmons' loyalty to Beantown.

Hopefully Henry's 7,000 opus on bowel movements will be posted soon /crossthread

 

Damn the luck, Jay, but I think it got lost when the trusty 2004 PowerBook died. Oh, well.

 

"Correction: An earlier version of this piece said there was a Game 7 of the 1974 Stanley Cup Finals. That series was decided in six games. Also, there was a reference to Ray Bourque's Stanley Cup parade in 1999. The parade occurred in 2001. "

Certainly understandable given that Simmons was only 5 in 1974.

 

That line will never get old.

 

I am liking the footnotes and the running corrections to the story.

 

As some feared given the qualifications of the "editor in chief," the site continues to feature content that has not received basic editing scrutiny. Thus:

While they didn't invent online footnotes (this is the friendliest format I've seen, though) or corrections (Slate.com might havw been out front on that, in a very handy format) I do heartily approve.

 

Do you expect a site designed to let writers go on and on to have significant copy editing?
