[Boom_70]

Got this E-mail from ESPN. Stuck me as kind of funny. Seems to really triviallize Black history month by turning into a cheesy promotion.

See you there.

Not.

 

[Boom_70]

See you there.

Not.

But Allan Houston will be sigining sutographs for everyone.

Oh, who cares?

Now, on another note: Smith's has whaled on Clemens and Pettitte for weeks now, more so than anyone else, to the point of boring obsession. He's done so, by his own admission, as a kind of avenger for the treatment of Barry Bonds, which Smith viewed as racist. Thoughts?

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Pot, meet kettle.

Onward.

But Steniner Sports will be there also. You might be able to pick up an autogrpahed Stephon Marbury Basketball.

As far as Smith approach to Clemens it's equally racist.

Remember, since the early '70s . . . the bar's been set really, really low.

We'll have to arrange a sitdown, someday, but somehow, can't fantom that this is the appropriate time and place.

You'll have to meet us there. Just take the # 1 train uptown and get off at Times Square. It's only one stop from Penn Station.

Just don't forget the Cheez Doodles.

I like how Houston only got third billing in that ireport. It seems fitting.

Nothing says black history to me like a silent auction of sports memorabilia.
