    But was he drunk at the time?

    So A-Rod's not the only thing at Yankee Stadium that blows.

    No, that would be "f'k the game, I'm John STERLING, and don't you forget it . . . "

    What a tool.

    Deadspin is really reaching for material. That story is older than a certain SportsJournalists.com poster about whom people make old jokes. It isn't like that one has never been told.

    But we have documentation now.
    (And I'd never heard it before, for what that's worth.)

    If you had learned that first-hand back in 1973 rather than in 2006, would you have turned out differently?

    Ragu raises an interesting point.

    Deadspin doesn't have nearly the impact it had around its launch. His media sources have dried up.

    Makes you wonder if all he can do is a slightly more sophisticated version of your average fanboy looser blog.

    Of course, he probably does the kind of numbers to keep Denton from stopping the checks.

    And the bozo(s) who fill in for him are worse.

    It's just not the same "must see" it was at first. And it lost steam in a hurry.
