This is Not from The Onion

This is a real headline from the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz:

"Two Jews and a Black Man Help Phelps Fulfill Olympic Dream"

Save the press

It's not about bobblehead dolls or empanadas, but I agree with this blog about the collapsing newspaper industry. Which, of course, is only available online.

I'm a Loser!

I've broken into the ranks of Washington Post Style Invitational Losers! Look for the report from Week 728, then under letter "D" (on page 2).

Has anyone else seen this yet?

Ryan Zimmerman has been writing a weekly column for The Examiner documenting this season.

I wonder what he's going to say about yesterday's 15-1 loss to the Tigers.

New Sports Marketing Technique

This is an actual email sent by the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN), the Baltimore Orioles' tv network:

Corey Patterson
AL leader in sacrifice bunts.
Some call it small ball.
Corey calls it smart ball.
Patterson and the Orioles take on the Washington Nationals starting Friday.

Sacrifice bunts... yeah that makes for great, entertaining tv....

Journalists Can Create Scandals, Too

According to the New York Post, recently-divorced Philadelphia TV reporter Alycia Lane sent a series of private emails and racy photos of herself to NFL Network anchorman Rich Eisen. The only problems? Eisen is married, and Lane sent the emails to a joint account Eisen and his wife share. His wife, Suzy Shuster, a college football sideline reporter for ABC, intercepted the emails and wrote a sarcastic reply to Lane. If you're going to flirt with a married man, don't send the email to the joint account he shares with his wife!
