I Knew This Day Would Come

Go back to The Man Show, you fat loser! |
At long last, it has happened. The
Sports Guy, the man who simultaneously restored my faith in sports writing and Internet humor, has left
Jimmy Kimmel's ghastly abomination of a late night talk show (I was about to refer to it as a "car crash," but then I remembered that most people will stop to watch a car crash) and is returning to write full time for
ESPN.com. According to
his most recent column, he wanted to devote more time to his column, and ESPN is also giving him the chance to "pursue some additional opportunities... none of which [he's] allowed to mention yet." Which is fine. I'm happy to take his work for it, and I expect good things. The Sports Guy phenomenon has been something special, and you need look no farther than the gaggle of Sports Guy-wannabes whose writing litters
ESPN.com Page 2 nowadays to see that
ESPN.com realizes this. It's about time they rewarded him with a new deal and an opportunity to keep doing new and interesting things. Here's hoping that he makes more of his fat new contract than
some other people have.
