Business…check this column on the Duke lacrosse situation at the BSN.
More business, I’ll be back on the D1 Network at 5:25 EDT.
Even more business–I’ll be on ESPNews’ 4 Quarters talking about Duke lacrosse. I’m waiting to hear when I’ll be on, and I’ll let you know when I know.
EDIT–I’ll be on at 7:30pm EDT

Six years to the day since Jon passed away. Improbable though I may find it, days like this make me almost certain I got somebody out there lookin’ out for me. And even if that ain’t the case, I’m surely lookin’ out for someone up there.
Rest in peace, my man.

Good job on ESPN. David Lloyd-Spade is a twat, though.
I’m going to have to co-sign with Kirk on old buddy. He is clearly biased. Glad you decided to go with the tie. Never take my advice again.
Just missed you on ESPN. Awaiting the clip…
But I did read about your friend Jon, and…I don’t have adequate words. As someone who has lost dear ones, and who cherishes those friends who are still here, what you wrote really hit home. Thank you for the reality check.
This is Deesha, btw.
I read the piece on your best friend. You have my sympathy because I couldn’t imagaine life without my bvest friend. We have known each other since 9th grade and this year celebrate 22 years of friendship. She’s the yin, I’m the yang, but I find most really solid relationships seem to be a match of opposites of some type. Anyway, I have been reading this blog for some time, but I registered to comment on this because it really touched me. When so much of the world I grew up in seems to be disappearing in front of my eyes (WTC, New Orleans, my 100 year old grandfather’s death), I often worry about what life would be like if I didn’t always have Laurie on the other end of the phone. You will stay in my thoughts for a long time because of this. Thanks.
There are no words adequate enough to describe the feeling of losing a best friend. I lost mine (really, more brother than friend), 11 years ago, in a manner so violent, it hurts to even think about it. I miss him now as much as I ever did, and in the most random places (like on the train in the morning on my way to work, etc.). I’ve read your piece on Jon before, and it never fails to touch me. For all that we lose in this life, oftentimes it’s “the people you meet randomly”, however you meet them, that can be a true saving grace.
Finally hooked up the new laptop *angels sing* expressly to watch you do your thing. Very proud of you. Nice work.
