What a week.
Jayson Blair is an early frontrunner for my "Most Emabarassing Black Man of the Year" award. Maybe I'm too critical of him. Somehow I don't think so. The guy's all over the media. It's embarassing. For those of you that don't know, our man Blair resigned from the NY Times after inventing stories and plagiarizing articles. He says he was in a "cycle of self-destruction" – including substance abuse, and suffered from mental illness. He says he regrets the pain it's caused his colleagues, who he says are "great and wonderful journalists." X-Ray Vision Needed to Find Black Superheroes indeed. Things like this have a ripple effect in the black community, hence the reason Gerald Boyd left.
Roller coaster week to be a Cub fan. The Sosa fiasco had me nearly to the point of wearing a bag over my head in shame. Noone will let you forget when your team falls on hard times and it was a dark day in Wrigleyville. Thankfully, the best fans in the world stood by Sosa and after we slayed the Yanks things are lookin' up.
Now only if the Nets can turn it around. *Crosses fingers*...
