Thanks again. The original piece we’re commenting on seemed CLEARLY to be the reaction of a pissed-off fanboi, and I couldn’t get through much of it.

That might work if live sporting events weren’t the most watched things in the US. They simply have too much lobbying pull to allow for one of their main advertising clients to be that limited.

I knew people who went to HS w/ him in Boca Raton, FL which is an elitist, snobby, cliquish place. He was a social outcast, but I guess he made a connection or two somewhere along the way.
