I was covering a baseball game the other day, and my competition clearly got up and went to the bathroom during an inning, missing multiple batters, and he still filed a story. I'm awaiting a response from his publisher.

It explains a lot of why you dress the way you do.

I'm confused.

If the guy ripped off your copy or quotes or whatever, that warrants a call to the SE.

And it warrants a call from YOUR SE to their SE. It's not advisable to go calling other sports editors on stuff like that.

I am shocked. Here's one for you ... I don't drink much anymore. Just wine with dinner. But I'm still a jackass.

Last time some other reporter showed up six games into a three-day high school volleyball tournament I called his SE and told him about it.

Then, because I didn't like the way he was looking at some of the girls, I called his wife and told her about it.

Then, I went to his house and kicked his dog.

Then, I went to his grandmother's grave, dug it up and pissed on her bones.

You ain't just a foolin'

Writers who don't understand (or even try to, for that matter) the subtle ebb and flow of a volleyball match **** me off almost as much as folks who start a bogus thread just to get a rise out of other posters.

Or, maybe I'm mistaken. I have a bad habit of over estimating the motives and intelligence of my fellow man. Maybe it's for real and Rhody is that stupid.
 
some people just don't have a sense of humor. some people are vindictive and angry. some people are both.
