larry, with all due respect to everyone involved, I think those were jockstraps, not socks. I can easily see the confusion, though.

Hey, Pat, an outstanding opinionated column today regarding the Frye trade. In the 10-plus years since Pluto went completely Popemobile on his readers, I don't recall reading anything so blunt, yet so sharp. Now, if you can just shoehorn your head out of Danny Ferry's lap, the Beacon Journal will have its first bonafide sports columnist since Arsenio Hall's show was cancelled.

Alan, if Pat told the editor any such thing he'd be washing the advertising staff's dirty socks again. I've figured it out and that's where the name of this blog comes from.

Actually, Pat, the newsletter was before they started holding a shotgun to every sportswriter's head and forcing them to contribute to a blog. (Ocker, of course, is the exception to the Beacon Journal's rule. It's tough to write on the Internet when you're using a Smith Corona manual typewriter.) Frankly, I think if you told the editor that the newsletter is now just going to water down your stuff, you'd be off the hook.
