    BOR-ing . . . (clap, clap, clapclapclap).

    Last I saw, it was called the Pulitzer Prize . . . not the Dolan.

    Though there may be a Dolan Prize in the works -- for consistently managing
    to maintain the darkness within a specific building every spring.

    It's a marketing decision. If there's one place known for moderation of tone and attitude in all things, it's the New York City area.

    Great question, Baron. I actually asked myself that while I was typing in my praise of Mr. Matthews. I just know if they spiked my stories and told me to be kinder, gentler in stories, I would go straight to the publisher and if he backed the asshole editors I'd have to walk. I am struggling a bit with the aforementioned matter. I'm sick of getting taken advantage of. I'm proud of Mr. Matthews as a journalist for walking.

    "The Washington (name deleteds) tried oh-so-hard during the 1940 NFL championship game, allowing just 73 points to the Chicago Bears while coming close to the goalline themselves on numerous occasions."

    In the case in question, here, Deb's breakdancing to the higher-ups tunes.

    Broad boredom ensues, as the lights go out, all over Long Gyland.

    another keegan column on valentine -- after he'd said that he should be fired if the mets missed the playoffs -- that season has me laughing still: "why wait? can the phony now!"
