    I don't know nor care about any near fight in the press room. BUt here is the original column by Greene.

    And this is supposed to be one of the great newspapers in this country. You gotta be kidding me. This is sixth-grade bullshit.

    I'd love to hear the great Mr. Hoppes defend this kind of shit.

    Homers, all of them. You ought to hear these Sentinel guys on the radio. They say "we" more often than French whores.

    Well, Lynn? Come on here and try to defend Greene's racist, juvenile column that you somehow let slip into the paper.

    But Mr. Green was not in the fight under discussion at the moment.

    Never said he was. But he wrote the stupid column.

    That's what I get for making a "Clue" joke.

    Holy mother of God, I haven't read crap like that column since I wrote one like it for my junior high paper in 1964. It's amazing Greene's pompoms didn't get in the way as he typed.

    Sounds like he would be popular on the University of Kentucky beat [crossthreading].

    I think the Detroit beat reporter came off just as homerish defending the Pistons in his blog.
