    It was sports. And the Lawrence paper wasn't the only media outlet called ... just the only one to fall for it.

    Mangino to West Virginia ... or not

    The Lawrence newspaper was fooled by a guy posing as Mark Mangino's agent. Ouch. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2007/dec/19/mangino_negotiations_west_virginia/

    Why can't The AP get this agate stuff correct/consistent?

    Does the Westwood One announcer irritate anybody else?

    Please tell me you're kidding. Tighe is the king of the bad pun. The weekend guy on the No. 3 station where I live is more original than this guy.

    More Little League ridiculousness

    Not 22. 36 with two kids. I don't work at a small daily or weekly, though. You got me there. I have no problem with youth sports ... when it's for the kids. I do have a problem with blowing them out of proportion. Good job by Little League, though, buy being able to get so many people to buy...

    More Little League ridiculousness

    I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to explain to me why so many people care about Little League in the first place. It's a joke to me that youth sports are such a big deal.

    Harold Reynolds Fired By ESPN

    Yes, I know that. But that still doesn't mean the Gold Glove always goes to the best defensive player at a position. For instance, Palmeiro won it 1999. He played 28 games at first base.
