Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain Dealer was demoted from Browns beat reporter, a position he'd held for 25+ years of lazy and uninspired writing. The reason? He accidentally tweeted that Browns owner Randy Lerner was "a pathetic figure...the most irrelevant billionaire." I finally agree with something Tony said, but that is a lovely way to lose your job. However, this is the same hack who headed the expedition to force Mangini out of town and then blindly make excuses for the continued failures under Holmgren, so good riddance.

ESPN Statlines are completely ridiculous sometimes. I don't remember the exact wording, but Tim Tebow was the first quarterback ever to lead 6 4th quarter comebacks in his first seven games (or something of that nature). Since there are so many sports analysts and many hours of televised programming on various networks, is this a recent phenomenon to come up with such ridiculous sample sizes? Or have statisticians always done this? edit:  Jason Whitlock posted:College football fans say playoffs are the perfect way to end a season, right?

A.J. Daulerio went crazy again. Just check out the loving url of his latest Deadspin entry: http://deadspin.com/5881346/dear-brian-cashman-i-am-wearing-your-pajama-pants-in-your-mistresss-living-room quote:Back in October, Deadspin acquired photos that showed Brian Cashman, general manager of the Yankees, meeting with an alleged girlfriend in February 2009. Soon after that story ran, we were tipped off that Cashman, still married to his wife of 16 years, had ended that particular affair but had since moved on to another mistress. He even attached a picture of himself wearing said pajama bottoms and holding Cashman's toothbrush. I have a feeling he's banned from Yankee Stadium.

My basic feeling about celebrities and public figures having sex is good for them, I hope they have a lot of sex, and I don't want to hear about it. Sadly not everyone shares this point of view.

We know nothing about Cash's marriage, and have no idea what he is our isn't committed to. Especially if he and his wife were already living in separate homes.

Babe Ruth was also drunk most of the time which probably gave him an extra ten or fifteen homers per year.

What difference does it make to anything, anywhere, to anyone, outside of Cashman's personal relationships?

Hell, when I was a kid, one of the alternate PBP announcers for the Dodgers (Vinny would do three innings then sit for three) named Ross Porter did this constantly. I used to make fun of him for stuff like, "Orel Hershiser is 10-7 when [insert completely irrelevant, random, idiotic situation or condition]."
