For those of you that might be interested to know...The TMQ on ESPNs Page 2 is no longer on the site. Why? I do not know. Perhaps a petition should be started...

Thought some of you would like to know...


Oh...and congrats on pasting the skins...

Wish we could put more than 20 points on the board...oh well.

Hmm...TQM said a column or so that he might slip a bit...reasons being that it's a long column that takes a bunch of time and other things that press. I sure hope he's not gone. It's a real riot, that column.

He had an awkwardly written paragraph in last week's article where he criticized Michael Eisner for abandoning his Jewish heritage for the almighty dollar for trying to profit off violent movies like Kill Bill. No joke.

There are a couple of articles on Slate, where he used to be, that tell better what happened.

If anyone finds him again, please post a link. It's not like he went after Asians or anything. :eek:

Get use to it...it is going to happen more frequently. Any group claiming to be subjected to hate speak will be protected. We have witches in California claiming defamation...big noses etc.

Some think the 1st amendment is a one-way street. PC is actually an old concept. Marx figured it out. See:

You'll be surprised to see how many points of this 1963 entry into the Congressional Record have come to pass...it's a 2 or three page list, look at 'em all.

He also bashed the upper echelon of ESPN in his article about the Rush Limbaugh / McNabb debacle.

Clearly he wrote an opinionate paged. That's what management saw from the start....they couldn't possibly be surprised by it now. If they thought he would be less demonstrative or wouldn't touch on some subject matter then they were dreaming, Easterbrook constantly pushed the envelope as did every writer on that site.
