I know it’s been dead-ish around here. Apologies.
All should improve starting tomorrow. I think. Probably.
Until then, here are five topics to discuss:
- Has anyone ever done more in a shorter time to submarine his own trade value than Sage did at the end of the season?
- Andre Johnson–god, or mere demigod?
- If Ahman Green died in a forest, would anyone notice?
- Given that Andre Davis is a special teams ninja as well as a solid receiver, do you think Jacoby Jones admires Apostrohpe or secretly wishes him dead?
- Who weighs more: Ron Dayne or Rosie O’Donnell?
Awesome
Aug 9, 2007 Athletes who don't stab people, Charity, DeMeco Ryans, Legal stuff, Updates
When last we left our hero (me), the disclaimer had been moved into a more prominent position, DeMeco and his attorney were happy, and it seemed as though the whole situation had wrapped up all nice and tidy.
Last night, however, the founder of StandUp For Kids, Rick Koca, found the post and commented on it. (Which is pretty cool.) Then, this morning, I received another email from the lawyer, saying that DeMeco’s Foundation is going to make a donation to SUFK, that he thanked me for bringing the charity to their attention, and that DeMeco was going to send an autographed football to my son. (All of which is also pretty cool.)
I still think there is a big underlying issue here and it’s likely one that won’t go away until one of these “blogger v. celebrity” cases winds up in court. Thankfully, all sides involved in my situation remained calm and worked through the discussion like rational human beings. (Full disclosure: I have to thank my friends for keeping my replies friendly and level-headed. I am nothing if not prone to flying off the handle.)
