ouch.
BTW, when can we expect some new spitter material? I need's me an Ask Oscar fix.

Very doubtful we'll see any new Spitter stuff in the near future. The Onion Sports desk does it faster and an a higher volume than my once-a-month-maybe pace.

I'd use their theft as a way to get in the door. Ask Oscar Gamble was some of your best stuff. It would play well on the onion.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
Dumbest thing I've ever seen.
I'm gonna go ahead and admit that not only did I think this was pretty funny and spot-on, but it also struck me as being not in the least bit cheap or in "bad taste."
Sheesh: you people probably didn't think it was funny when Norm MacDonald went on the "Daily Show" last fall and had 5 minutes of seriously-gut-busting material about the Crocodile Hunter being shish-ka-bobbed by a stingray, either....

You could just send it to Ron Borges directly.Actually, I wrote this article a few years ago. Did the photoshop of him in the bubble, too.
Looks like I'll be sending the Onion an email.
I saw the image on that and wondered if that was your's. Nice work.
No I wasn't really speaking to this piece, I was just fuzzy on whether or not they were the same ones who did the piece last year. I guess Griffey's become an easy target.
griffey is pretty soft tho
I thought it was pretty funny
The Onion is a very funny site and paper...yes, sometimes the boundary of bad taste is pushed...but that is the nature of satire...hit or miss...
nice

This post needs to be removed. It's worse than harassment, name-calling, or any other rule REDSZONE can come up with.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
1) It's satire
2) I'm not going to remove a post for something written by a 3rd party.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
