Are there comic book awards? He could win one of those. Or an award for the paper that manages to get a huge sports photo on Page One the most often. He should get an award for being the only person in western PA still willing to publish Mark Madden's garbage.

Maybe he's just clearing wall space for these future alternative awards.

Some of those awards are mine. I'm not sure if I should thank him or scold him for throwing them in the trash. Those were won when The Times was a top-notch newspaper and I was proud to work there. Today, I'm ashamed to say it is my alma mater. Pitching those awards makes it easier for The Times to sever ties with me. Trust me, that's OK with me.

Of course, what Briscoe lacks in newspaper sense he makes up for in people skills..
