    ...and Clemens thinks, "1 down, 300 or so to go..."

    I take it the recent layoffs on Broadway included Keel's editor...how else could such a self-serving and patently ridiculous column have been printed?

    Given the higher-ups at that paper, I'm hardly surprised.

    Did Keel take over from that "Brad About You" guy?

    I mean, it's their gossip column.

    Nothing to stop the news desk from covering, you know, some news.

    Seems a bit self-serving and holier-than-thou. But her hearts in the right place. I'd like to submit a couple dozen so-called celebrities deserving of a news blackout.

    Does this mean across the hall that David Climer and Joe Biddle will quit writing about Vince Young, who has exhibited a smaller dose of McReady-like behavior in recent months?

    Is Vince Young still on the Titans?

    Smaller dose?

    Young is nowhere near McCready's league for repeatedly creating/becoming involved in controversy.

    If Young's out of the NFL for six years like McCready has been off the Billboard charts for six years, and he is still making news for arrests and drugs and underage sex scandals and actual suicide attempts (instead of rumours about talking about suicide), then you can compare an apple to an apple.

    Vince Young had an affair with Roger Clemens?

    The next John Daly story I want to see is his obit.

    Not wishing ill will on him and I hope for all the best. I'm just sick of his antics.

    Helluva headshot on that columnist, though.

    It's her column. She can write about whatever she wishes.
