I'm not surprised at his response. I'm way behind on this, having not checked the board for awhile. It is not a good article, but it really is not that big of a deal. He tried to be funny, and wasn't. Geez, that defines half of what Maureen Dowd writes. His response is not unexpected, but if he is going to do this professionally, he should get use to the criticism. In the age of online publications, blogs, e-mail and "instant access," we all turn into critics. I'll accept from those who know him that he's good at what he does and this piece isn't reflective of his work. But if he is going to do this professionally, then he should get use to criticism. Online publications and articles usually include a e-mail link to reply to the author. What was posted here, though over-the-top at times, is nothing compared to the vitriol he'll have in his inbox if he chooses journalism as a profession. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: RickFC77 's message, "Tommy boy should learn to take it like a man. The only thing classless and cruel about this whole incident was his article. To try and deflect blame to the alumni tells us more about Tommy boy then we will ever want to know. Good luck writing for the Pennysaver its about where you belong." on Wed March 16, 2005 22:44:12
