    You missed my point. It's not about swearing, and those aren't my morals. I never said Doc was right for what he said (though I think he should be free to say whatever the fuck he wants).

    I simply found it amusing that while being Mr. sensitivity about one thing, you tell someone go fuck themselves because they have a differing opinion in a public forum. I just found that a little heavy handed.

    "Mr. Sensitivity" is not a label I've ever been saddled with.

    Sure Doc has the right to his opinion. Just like I have the right to tell him to go fuck himself. And you have the right to tell me to go fuck myself. And Doc has the right (and did) tell me to go fuck myself.

    Heavy handed? Yep. I do get really pissed when others celebrate job losses in this (and most other) businesses. It's just a shitty thing to do.

    We've all seen too many talented, great people lose their jobs. I'll never understand why that would make anyone happy.

    Fair enough. I'll agree with you on that.

    Appears so.

    I have no idea how Yahoo's news/sports division makes a dime, to be honest. And there are some seriously well-paid sportswriters there.

    If you're dropping Tim Brown, why even stay open?
