F YOU Tony Kornheiser!

Follow the link and read the transcript of the show. It's an abomination! Send the link to everyone you know and ask them to email ESPN. He needs to be suspended, or even fired, for this kind of hate speech.

RIP Adam Little!

Adam was struck and killed by a hit and run driver while commuting this morning in Charlotte. The driver, a 24 y.o. woman, was tracked down a short time later and arrested. She's been charged with misdemeanor homicide by vehicle and unrestrained child.
Whoever is investigating this horrific crime needs to pull her mobile phone records and go over them with a fine-toothed comb. What's the bet she was yapping or texting?

Adam was a mere 34 years old and leaves behind a wife and two small kids.


As an aside, the General Assembly of SC is currently debating a bill that would outlaw texting while driving. If you're like me, you've been buzzed by some jerk-nut on the phone or texting. Contact your Representative, whoever he or she may be, and voice your support for this bill.

Anything that keeps us safe on the road is a good thing!

Very very tragic.
Maybe this statement from the current Sec of Transportation shows there's a change coming sometime:

Great ideas...implementation and changing the minds of ignorant drivers will be the bigger issues.
