Great letter to ESPN

    It's really nothing to bitch about, just boring as hell. Although, the one time I drove hungover from Erie to Ithaca, leaving Erie at 630 a.m. was probably the worst four hours of my life.

    mark is absolutely right.

    I'm being way too whiny here. Definately me. Sorry about that.

    Just a final note. It was a joke. (something I clearly do far too much of)

    Not changing any story. I got a kick out of seeing it all over the place. So did my boss. They were happy with the page views. But someone else sent the link out in the first place. Not me.

    I like(d) ESPN when there was a balance of fun in the sports. sports is fun. I have fun shooting sports and calling hi-lites, and that obviously comes across.
    I lost interest when Sean Salisbury was on TV more than actual hi-lites and they held mock pressconferences. My issue wasn't with ESPN per se, it was with someone who thought they were WAY more important than me because of who they worked for. Same thing happens to small market guys around the country.

    so after a bad show, something that has happened plenty in the past became the focus of a funny (at least i though funny) post on a "blog" that you can't comment on.

    you can judge for yourself on my performance on our website and tell me what a no-talent ass clown i really am. ( http://www.wbng.com/sports )

    But I'm not lying about it. And I don't see it as unprofessional. But that's Mark's expert opinion, and I'm learning to be ok with it. Someday, I will get there.

    someday.

    If you say that dynamite goes boom, I'm not even going to watch.

    Really brendo, attempts to fellate markvid are really unflattering. At least try to put the knee pads away first.

    ;)

    Mark is good people.

    It's clear he got a hair across his ass -- don't we all on occasion? I've been guilty of it more times than I count -- and may have carried on stronger than most of us. Big whoop. It's a message board.

    FWIW, brendo seems to be taking it in stride. And I still love me some Wegmans, even though I live like six hours away from the closest one right now.

    OK, that's enough of this one.
