A little personal business: as part of another downsizing at SI, I will soon be a cap casualty and a free agent. It is what it is.

What a shame, he's so good at his job....
Bet he ends up writing for the Vikes.
That's what happens when you choose to no longer cover the greatest sports franchise in the history of the U.S., the earth, the solar system, the galaxy, the universe, and all known and unknown dimensions. That decision 6+ years ago to abandon coverage of the Pack will haunt him for all eternity and beyond that.
I was glad when betard left coverage of my beloved team - useless as tits on a bull.
good luck out there, free agent betard.
The Ted Thompson of writers.. it fell into his lapped and he bungled it.
I never understood the Beddard hate. I usually enjoy his columns.

Because he gets rather Naglery with a side of condescension. I haven't read his **** since he was on the Packer beat.
There should be some kind of opening developing in D.C. Be patient Gerg!

Explains your liking Fullofhimself Simms.
I have been a continuous subscriber to SI since 1974. I used to re-up in 3 year increments---now I do it year to year because one of these days, they're toast.
Sign of the times .
Si is now "illustrated" without any staff photographers....

There isn't a better sports journalist in America than Jim Murray. As far as SI goes Gary Smith was the best they've ever had. William Knack wrote some great pieces. So did Zimmer and Rick Reiley.
Peter King was good early on until he found out money was better with a belly full full of GM semen.
Maybe I should invite Greg to X4.
He seemed to "enjoy" this site.

The Vikes could use a good spin doctor.
Panels falling off the new building? Greg B - opponent fans should tread lightly in the new stadium - if the Pizza doesn't get you the Panels will.
Birds flying into the new building? Greg B - an omen showing that the Vikes will kill (on the field) the Falcons, Cardinals, and Ravens.
WRs go to die in MN? Greg B - the Vikes don't need them anyway - AP will be re-signed and with the great ground game the Vikes will be good.
Etc.

Writing is so much harder when you can't simply poach story ideas of X4. Poor guy.

That was either a brilliant imitation of Paul Allen or of Chillijon doing his Paul Allen bit.

Well, if he would write from x4 he could learn a new level of bull**** as well.

I can't imitate stuff like this. I want to. Paul Allen is legend.
