Watchdog

I have to write a lengthy story now for the Sunday newspaper, so don't come here anymore today. In fact, take a break 'til Monday. Read Glauber instead.

And by the way, this weekend we are transitioning our e-mail system from Tribune (boo) to Cablevision (yay), so don't bother trying to send me anything because the system will be out of commission temporarily.

If it's important news, send a telegram.

(UPDATE: Now they say our e-mails will work until 12:01 a.m. Sunday. So feel free to e-mail Saturday. I just won't answer.)

When I do return to the blog Monday, it will be with a great vengeance and furious anger never before seen in these parts.

Whether it takes daily posts about Erin Andrews or hourly polls about Mike Francesa's supporting cast or other cheap blog gimmicks, my single-minded mission between then and Oct. 31 will be to increase my page views for a sixth consecutive month, a mark previously achieved by only one Newsday blogger.

Yup, Glauber. Sorry, Bob. Records are made to be shared.

(UPDATE: Check out this cuddly post from Glauber. Difficult to believe this guy covers football, isn't it? Sheesh. What's next? Brett Favre crying in a news conference?)

(UPDATE: Here's Glauber's response to the above.)
