    Enough.
    Jeff, with his ego, and Les, with his crap, should both take a dose of STFU and go in their neutral corner.
    The crack by Jeff was not called for but Les doesn't get a free pass either.

    Les made a crack. Jeff responded with a screed.

    Of all the points drip has made on these boards, the one above is by far the best one.

    Behave, you know? Or as others have noted, yell at each other and smack each other around in a bar.

    Which is all that is wrong with Tweeting, IMO. Many tweets are knee jerk reactions and they never end well.

    Twitter is such a cowardly medium. We're so quick to jump all over athletes for chickenshit tweets, so heck yes reporters doing the same deserve whatever they get. If it's a punch upside the head, well, maybe next time they'll use their brains first. #hatetwitter

    Vick started. Take that, Les.

    Take what? Did Les ever actually say Vick wouldn't start?

    Tough for me to see this. Les was very friendly to this out-of-town reporter, who dropped in on the Flyers several times. (Bowen covered hockey then.)

    Really thought McLane went way over the line. I can understand why he might have done a slow burn over what Bowen wrote, but that response direct and personal. I've always felt that if you need to do that, you don't feel good enough about yourself.
