We had an editor once who wrote a day-in-the life type column about himself. It was set during playoff time and ran about 2k words long. It was unbelievably bad, to the point where our sister papers refused to run it (we usually share most of our work when we need help filling space)...
wow...greatest.picture.ever.
and I know plenty of people hate Cowherd/Bayless...but they are nowhere near as bad as watching Woody/Mariotti, as well as whatever two other asshats they have on that day...Reali is the only good thing about that show.
Am I the only one who didn't think the outfit was all that bad (especially for Hannah's standards)?

this is sorta like the headline that is on the ESPN main page right now: "Celtics' Davis curses heckler"

wow...didnt even notice it had been closed...i used to go over there now and then, but it was too painful to watch...hope the mods dont let this board get that far too :\
