There are men who watched "Steel Magnolias"?

 

I've heard of Shelly Dubinsky, but not Chick

 

Fixed again.

 

Point, please.

 

The Big Lead is a fraud. Of course, I'll be told (again) that I'm a hater.

Still waiting for the apologies to Albert Pujols and maligned members of the Florida State football team, and for him to lob Rick Reilly a real question days after writing about his press-box cavorting.

 

Wick, I hope you're not holding your breath.

 

Dude, other papers fuck up too. what's your fucking point?

Now please go to my site and look at my Kim Kardashian ass pics.

BLOGS!!!!!

 

Linking that crap was a bs move by thebiglead.
But the guy does score good interviews. The one he did with Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post comes to mind. Vaccaro would be a great by the News to fill the column void but he'd last 10 minutes with Lupica.

This excerpt is priceless:
I can only speak for myself here, but there are two problems I have with what’s become of him. First, and foremost, is that he simply doesn’t put nearly as much time or effort into the column as he once did. That’s indisputable. He does TV. He writes books, sometimes two a year. He writes his left-wing screeds in the Daily News on Wednesdays. So it’s clear the column suffers for that. He hardly ever travels. He hasn’t covered one Knicks game in person this year, despite ripping them every week. And that’s just the obvious symptoms. Beyond that, I’ve heard him give his explanation for why he doesn’t show up as often anymore, and it’s essentially this: After nearly 30 years writing a column in New York, he’s not going to see anything he hasn’t already seen before. And to me, that not only insults those of us who do think it’s worthwhile to get to the ballpark and the arena – specifically the other columnists at the News who have to make up for the work he finds so unnecessary and inconsequential – but it’s an affront to the very essence of column writing, which is to be accountable and available, to be there.

The other issue I have, frankly, is the way he treats people. I’ve been around too many good, talented people who also write columns for a living – Dave Anderson leaps to mind, and Harvey Araton, and Filip Bondy, and Mark Kriegel, and Bob Ryan, Steve Serby, and Bill Plaschke, it’s a substantial list – who believe that treating others properly is just as much a part of having a high-profile job as anything else. They won’t throw a public fit if they don’t like the seat they’ve been given. They won’t threaten to have people fired in a hissy fit. One of the great ironies, to me, is that Mike made his bones in this business by standing up to Dick Young, who in his declining years became a bitter ideologue who took great pleasure in ripping other writers in his columns. Young, I have to believe, is having a great laugh right now whenever he reads Lupica writing about “the coverage” of the local teams from high atop his Connecticut perch.

 

Lupica has to wake up every morning, knowing that Vaccaro is better at his job than Loopy is, at his.

That's some satisfaction.

 

That was one elegant and surgical carving of the Midget.
Loved it.
