Somebody Said Something Nice About Me

12:28 AM

It's rare, but sometimes, people like the silly things I do. And I'm so very very honored that none other than Mr. William McKeen, professor and chairman of The University of Florida Department of Journalism, said some really nice stuff about my new book.

I thought I'd share that. If for no other reason than to prove that sometimes it does happen.

Also, I totally got in trouble today on the set of SportsNation at ESPN in Bristol for drinking coffee on the set. I feel like a douche, but hey, it wouldn't be me if it didn't involve a) blatantly breaking a rule plastered on no fewer than 4 signs, and b) making a bad impression the first time I ever show up somewhere.

Does the wafting scent distract them like one of those cartoon characters floating away following a scent trail? Does the sound of quiet sipping get amplified a million times by the microphones?
