Too much information in tribute to deceased sportscaster?

[Perry White]

Yes, this is via Deadspin, but is bizarre and on-topic enough to seem worthy of note: http://www.deadspin.com/sports/whimsy/sometimes-we-just-learn-a-bit-too-much-217708.php

Casey Coleman's life reached beyond sports
By Terry Pluto

Casey was convinced God delivered him from alcoholism. I believe the same about what God did to take pornography out of my life. We talked about how we couldn't deny what we did and who we were, but we didn't have to stay stuck in the past.
...
We didn't talk every day or every week, but when we talked, we really talked about things that mattered: about how we were both blessed to have tremendous wives; about how we could not afford to slip up; about how we were one drink or one click of a computer mouse from losing all God gave us.

EDIT: I see Pluto has written about this sensitive topic before, so I guess it isn't such a big deal in this one column: http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/living/religion/15977478.htm

I think it's great that he talks openly about something that doesn't need to be stigmatized.

Good thing he never looked at it in a library. [/Carl Monday]

 

[Bubbler]

There's a joke in here somewhere about Pluto's ABA book, but I respect him too much as a writer to make it.

******* SNL skit exploding right in front of us.

Pluto was a better writer on porn.

Pluto has been on a big Jesus kick for the last several years, and he's written about it extensively in the ABJ. So this shouldn't come as a big surprise.

Big Jesus Kick is the name of my next band.
