Bernie Kosar is a fine human being. Let the press have their fun, but give Bernie another chance.

Seriously Bernie,
Go home and get yourself straight dude. Calm down and stop living others lives.
You need rest and wisdom. Rest is easy. Wisdom? Well, take time and listen instead of talking.
You are trying to be something you never were. Whatever it is you MUST stop this train and get off.
Go find things that calm you down and do them like a religion. Keep doing those things until you can really look at life clearly then you can begin to live again.

Can you blame Bernie for having trouble making a sandwich? Hey, you try buying three-day old Wonder Bread from some guy selling it from the trunk of his car in the parking lot at Land Shark Stadium. Not only did Bernie need a saw, he needed an *electric* saw.

Boy, I can't believe BK would allow himself to be portrayed as this hopelessly pathetic. A saw? To cut bread? Really? That isnt a sign of inexperience; it is a sign of stupidity.

I really see no tragedy here. Kosar left NE Ohio to live large in fantasy land and the fantasy ended with a thud.

I think until Bernie's daughter finally gets Bernie on video, she's going to have to stay alive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH3JAp7vMuo&NR=1

Really, what is the difference between Kosar's sad and pathetic public image tour and the white trash on Jerry Springer telling the world just how sad and pathetic they are? Other than Bernie isn't appearing in a venue where he's getting cracked over the head with a chair. But who knows, the week is still young.

Seriously, Kosar almost makes me want to vomit. His agent has him doing a mini-Kobe rape allegation whirlwind media tour. On the radio, in the newspaper, on TV. Only this media tour involves an egomaniacal loser who can't face the reality that he is no longer relevant. Sorry for being so blunt, but this guy needs a shrink, and hopefully a shrink who will tell it to him in Howard Cosell language by telling it like it is.

This is what I'd really like to say to him: "GO AWAY AND STAY AWAY, BERNIE!"

Oh, and terje, Le Batard is far from the character he plays on TV. I'm a big fan of his sportswriting. He's pretty good on the radio, too. You can listen to him on live broadcasts on the Web. Remember when Tim Hardaway got in major trouble for giving his opinion about gays? That was Le Batard's interview.

Also, you should find and listen to his heated interview with Jay Bilas. Good stuff. Bilas is a politically correct Dukie dunce. I can't wait until the NBA draft, when Bilas repeatedly talks about a guy who has a giant "wingspan" and is "long." If John Holmes could fly, Jay Bilas is there to describe it.

But bottom line, Le Batard is a very good sportswriter. I've been reading him for years, trust me on this. Who knows why there is no follow-up, my best guess is, as Pat will tell you, that newspaper editors show no mercy when it comes to hacking a guy's stuff like a bad slasher movie.

Well, I coulda told ya that buying an indoor football team wasn't the most savvy investment in town, BK. Clevelanders can't even support their baseball team, hockey and soccer teams have been in and out…not to mention, isn't Cleveland rated as the poorest city in the nation? Our so-called "love" for football doesn't exactly extend to the Arena.
