    To this day, I still feel like a former ESPN blogger pulled straight from my story, but they said it was just taken from a press release (a press release that came out two weeks after my story). I couldn't prove it. It was frustrating, by my publisher and I agreed that the ESPN blog's post was way too similar (changing like two words). Oh well.

    In addition to this being a sh***y, lazy-ass effort that probably took Paige about 15 minutes to produce, I've got a problem with a guy who is getting a lot of his income from ESPN writing a blow job column about ESPN. The loose "angle" here involves the book on ESPN and the fact that one of its followers was from Greely.

    Hey, Woody ... is Daniels (the guy from Greely) mentioned in the book? Or did you consider talking to someone from Daniels' family. ... Oh, wait, yeah ... that would have taken some fucking work.

    And people wonder why newspapers suck donkey balls. It's because they allow this kinda stuff to go on because columnists are "stars."

    Does anyone remember the 1985 movie "The Mean Season"? Probably not. The most ludicrous movie I ever watched.

    Kurt Russell played a Miami Herald reporter sleeping with Mariel Hemingway. A newspaper reporter sleeping with that kind of talent. Right.

    And he was torn about leaving the Miami to move to Greeley, which is right by the meat processing plant. Even more far fetched than a reporter sleeping with a Mariel Hemingway look alike.

    My girlfriend graduated from Greeley West ... it's her home town. It's only a 25 minute drive from Fort Collins, but I always hated taking it with her due to that damn smell

    Reworking a classic: "She said 'Kiss me where it stinks.' So I took her to Greeley."

    Maybe you'll say photogs are different, but an L.A. Times photographer I knew casually dated his share of people like Mariel Hemingway and brought Alexandra Paul to a Christmas party I was attending once.

    I have worked with a few photogs that netted a lot of plus ass. They were artsy, eccentric and assertive.

    Yep, different than a lot of newspaper reporters.

    JUST kidding, newspaper reporters.

    If it's two articles that were published in newspapers, it can absolutely be proven.
