 Posted: Mon May 15, 2006 2:57 pm Post subject: Way OT, but a quote from General Sherman |
|
|
I was doing some reading and came across the following quote by General William Tecuseh Sherman, of Civil War fame:
* I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast.
I wonder if he was talking about BSPN?

What does OT mean? I see it a lot on the thread titles. It's obviously got to do with articles, but what does it stand for. Sorry if its a stupid question >.<

No problem. By the way, it wasn't a stupid question. Around here stupid questions usually start out with "how about this trade?"

Both are very true when it comes to ESPN and reporting about basketball.

Of course TJ might change is tune if he saw what BSPN shovels.
