has become sort of an unwitting darling of the right wing noise machine. It’s not at all his choice and, I suspect, if asked, he would have sharp words for many who’ve praised him in the last 24 months. I’ve always enjoyed his work both in print and on the radio. He’ll speak his mind freely. So freely, in fact, it cost him his job with ESPN in 2006.

He’s got a great column yesterday discussing his upcoming article in Playboy. It’s interesting because it looks like the magazine was expecting him to regurgitate 18-month-old stuff, when clearly he’s got a ton of other stuff on his mind. And given an outlet with 3 million readers (yes, some of us do read it for the articles), he wasn’t going to blow his opportunity.

I’m positive Playboy contracted me because of the explosive columns I wrote a year ago about Don Imus, NBA All-Star Weekend Las Vegas and Sean Taylor. It’s apparent that Napolitano had a very surface-level understanding of my perspective. He made it up in his mind long before I agreed to write the piece that I would be doing an article castigating the “Black KKK.”

I don’t work that way. I wouldn’t waste my opportunity to speak to 3 million subscribers by repeating things I’ve already said. I look for opportunities to advance the conversation, take things to a higher level of discourse. I don’t choose sides. I try to follow the truth wherever it leads.

So do I get the magazine to support Whitlock? Or do I boycott to protest Playboy’s stupidity?  Decisions…

Bill James Takes the Fun Out of March Madness

March 18th, 2008 Chris Snethen 1 comment

From Deadspin:

Bill James, Mr. Smiling Don Quixote Baseball Face, writes in Slate today that he has figured out how a lead in college basketball is “safe.”

* Take the number of points one team is ahead.

* Subtract three.

* Add a half-point if the team that is ahead has the ball, and subtract a half-point if the other team has the ball. (Numbers less than zero become zero.)

* Square that.

* If the result is greater than the number of seconds left in the game, the lead is safe.

As Don Imus used to say, that makes my hair hurt.  I think I’ll just sit back and enjoy the Madness.  Besides, I don’t want to get Cheeto dust on my scientific calculator.
