The Mushnick Battles

Phil Mushnick is a sports/media columnist with The New York Post.  As his name suggests, he is the worst person on earth.  At some point I snapped and started emailing him. The biggest surprise is that he has an iPhone.  Of course, I am usually day drinking when I send these. This is a war that will never end. Here are a few of our exchanges:

 Dan - would you prefer I allow others to dictate my opinions? Just

 Phil,

 Do you know anyone under the age of 50?

 Have you ever read the rest of the Post on breaks from your soapbox?

 Is it tough to rail against the downfall of society's morality when

you have had a hooker as a columnist colleague?

 Your jokes rival Rick Reilly's. Keep up the good work.

Do you think tv networks want games on at certain times just to make you, the Golden Girls and Matlock mad? Do you think maybe they are trying to make money and have determined these are the best times to get the largest audience? Should the owners of pro teams cater to curmudgeonly writers or the people that tune in and create their giant tv deals?

Dan - I suspect that you wouldn't mind leaving your home on Christmas Day to sell peanuts for peanuts at a made-for-TV NBA game.

Teams wearing black doesn't make them

gangsters or more prone to crime, it sells more jerseys. So what?

Dan - Stop, look, listen - and read - the inclusion of black, and only black, and for the last 25 years - is totally reliant on gang-established fashion. Nike knows this; so should you. - mushnick   Dan >

Yup, the fashion industry was also trying to recruit new gang members when they created the little black cocktail dress.
