THE SPORTS REPORTERS

Ya gotta love these guys. Sometimes they argue (loudest voice wins), sometimes they all agree (let's say the same thing a different way), and sometimes they compete for silliness. Today we got all three.

Tony Kornheiser agrees with Bob Ryan that the only baseball records that count are the home run records. He says to announce Aaron - 755 and Maris - 61 are officially the records. Let the other guys have their numbers but tell them they are not record-holders.

Bob Ryan went further: he says, "Put them in the Hall of Fame, but in a separate wing and make their plaques a different color. ...oh yeah, and charge less to get in, too." This theory had Mike Lupica laughing so hard he couldn't even interrupt!

In the parting shots, Kornheiser did a take-off on A-Rod, saying, "When I was a cub reporter and young and stupid, I took some kind of steroid (I'm not sure what) to make me write better." While he was talking, they flashed a picture with Tony's head on a body-builder's body. He said he apologized to his fellow columnists.

***THE YANKS GO A STEP FURTHER***
On top of charging outrageous seat prices, the Yanks are also screwing their season ticket holders. People trying to RENEW their season tickets, are finding that they're not getting the same quality seats. People formerly behind 1st are being located by the foul pole. Loge ticket holders are being offered centerfield bleacher seats. Any complainers are told, "Take it or leave it, we've got a waiting list." Really classy, guys. Why don't you save more money by not installing seats; let them stand.

VOD'S BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG.
