Tickenest's Journal: Extreme Sadness at ESPN.com's Page 2...

Sadly, ESPN has seen fit to drop Gregg Easterbrook's Tuesday Morning Quarterback column from its Page 2 due to some comments he made about Jews in Hollywood (or something like that.) Now, I haven't read them, so I can't comment on their severity, but I have read that they weren't so bad (though, again, take this assessment with a grain of salt, since I'm reading this assessment from people on the right.) Still, he apologized, but that's not good enough, apparently. It's a damn shame, if you ask me. His TMQ column was the best thing on Page 2 (tied for first with Tim Keown's The List column.) It was always the longest and deepest column of the week by far, and covered lots of topics besides football (though always lots and lots of football.)

:(

got any linkage?

I'm curious to read the official reason.

Frankly, it seems that ESPN has completely whitewashed its site of any mention of Easterbrook. He's not on the list of Page 2 columnists, his old articles are gone, and searches on the site for "Easterbrook" are being redirected to the front page.
