Or sometimes somewhat "sad," but simultaneously bitterly funny, like when professional comedy writers used to mock Joe Piscopo. For years, they burnt that guy to a satiric crisp. But this ain't funny. Actually, it is rather pathetic. And frankly, I don't get it. Why is it happening? You're wrong, larry, it's not "getting" to be a joke. No, it's long past the "getting" part. I kinda had hoped this blog would provide a kind of an "insider's" perspective of what's going on at the paper, along with the usual entertaining blog chatter not necessarily having to do with anything in particular. But far more often than not, it has devolved into Larry King's old USA Today column. If anybody out there remembers that piece of ....uh.... work, which incredibly ran in USA Today for almost 20 years, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. Ron, are you listening?

The man has put together the worst post-Finals offseason for an NBA team that I can think of, yet you've got a couple writers falling all over each other trying to be the first to congratulate him on his good work. It's getting to be a joke. What's the deal with the pro-Danny Ferry articles?
