Whole lot of team-specific/regional coverage folks being let go. The website I help run is obviously tiny by comparison, and whenever we get applications, many of them indicate an interest in focusing their writing on one or two teams. We've always told them we don't have the resources like an ESPN or FOX Sports to have dedicated coverage. Kinda interesting from that perspective to see all these firings now.

Irish police are investigating Stephen Fry for blasphemy, the FCC is investigating Stephen Colbert for obscenity.

The western world - maybe the entire world - is only months away from burning heretics and drowning witches.

If it sinks, it isn't a witch.

Well to be fair, the outcry would have been far greater had Colbert said that about Pres Obama.

The one true justice system.

To be fair, if Obama had been an utter ass clown tool of a president, he'd have deserved it.

BBN football player ripping off BBN basketball players. Seems fair.
