If this went down the way Anne-Marie Gray says it did, then she should sue ’em, and sue ’em good. The story goes that Gray had worked for ESPN basically since it started, and had had no reprimands.

Take Me Out To The Airport
I have a question for the people who do the scheduling for Major League Baseball. why is it that the Blue Jays never seem to play home games on long holiday weekends? I’m sure that there are complexities involved with pulling dates out of one’s ass that I don’t understand (that is how you guys …

Ernie Harwell, Dead At 92
It was just announced on the Blue Jays game that Ernie Harwell has died at 92. I wrotean entryabout him and what he meant to me last year when he announced that he was suffering from cancer, so I’ll let that say my piece. But there’s already a nice tribute article posted on the USA …
Is He Blinded By The Sun, Or His Desire For Money?
Damn that other case where a girl got clonked by a flying bat, and her mom sued, and it went ahead. Maybe it set a precedent, so this next ridiculous lawsuit can continue. George Black got hit by a line drive, and now he’s suing the ballpark’s owner for letting the sun get in his …

There’s Always The Next Few Years
The Your Call deal on the TSN website is asking an interesting question today. Was this Leafs season a success or a failure? On the surface that seems like an easy call because as far as the standings are concerned it damn well sucked, but at the same time it’s not so easy to say …

Ro Cost Me 20 Bucks, Plus Some Random Complaining And Such
Over on herblog, our good buddy Ro was doing her damnedest a few days back to sell me MLB Gameday Audio. Well, between her, the Blind Tech list’s huge thread about it, Jerry Howarth and the Shoe thief, I had no choice but to cave and fork over my $20. You really can’t go wrong …

Online Parolympic Coverage
I just got a link to hopefully better parolympic coverage than we’re going to see on actual TV. Apparently, parolympic action will be broadcast online at http://paralympicsport.tv. The site works, but woe is me, there is no commentary! I think I am watching sledge hockey right now, but I will never know the score. So…to …
