    Well, now we know. We certainly didn't know before.

    Remember. Write, THEN drink.

    It's better on the keyboard, anyway. Trust me.

    I thought it was cleverly kept vague on the middle guy, with no doubts regarding the first and the third. Given the unabashed love for Lisa here and the unabashed hate for Jay, it seemed like a good way to allow for any gray areas re: Kevin.

    Thanks for the kind words, Joe, but he was right. I omitted a comma.

    Instead of write then drink it should be fully wake up then post. ;)

    I just went to AOL.com and the sports page is all posts from their FanHouse blog. AOL has had columnists in the past; maybe they're trying to get back into it, but I'm not sure how much traction they had previously. Of course, AOL hasn't known what to do ever since people realized they didn't need to have AOL (well, except my dad, maybe).

    always good to hear of hires. especially happy for lisa.

    inevitable "but".....

    it's my own bias against columnists in general. there are few, if any, i consider a "must-read." give me breaking news and you'll be in my fave places forever.

    just speaking for myself, i don't foresee clicking on aol for any of these hires. but again, i'm happy to hear they're all back among the employed.

    OR

    Which I wouldn't advocate, because I know none of them, and I prefer to know the people upon whom I wish a dining experience of penises. But it would scan properly. Particularly if you hate AOL.

    I thought Mariotti to the Chicago Trib was a (near) done deal, to read some of the threads from a while back...did that fall apart in some way, or did it never exist at all?
