Real Journalism.
R. Alex Whitlock
Unlike certain journalists with an anti-male agenda and strong indifference to football, certain other journalists will at least put the incident in context by explaining who was playing and why someone flew off the deep end.
A Pinson man, upset over Alabama's double overtime loss to Arkansas, held a gun to his son's head and pulled the trigger shortly after Saturday's game ended, authorities said.

The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-old Seth Logan, who now acknowledges he had picked the wrong moment to ask his dad for a car, sheriff's spokesman Deputy Randy Christian said Monday.

I read about that game. Must have been tough for an Alabama fan to endure.

Update: D'oh, forgot to mention that I got the link from Warliberal. Bad Alex.

Like I wrote, if I had a gun I would have definitely drawn on somebody. I mean, blowing a 21 point second half lead is one thing. Losing on a missed fieldgoal in overtime is another. But <i>both</i>?

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
