Some reader just ticked off Ira. He said Ira didn't research his comments for today's Cohn Zohn blog entry.
Big mistake. Ira does research and he's a football encyclopedia. Plus you don't want Ira angry at you.
Our first two years working together we couldn't stand each other, argued all the time. Some big rants, one in particular in the Candlestick Press Box at a 49er/Dallas game. Legendary fight.
Then we realized we like each other. I admire Ira's knowledge, judgment, feel for football. And I must tell you he is the most loyal friend in a profession where some people give you big smile to your face and stick the knife in your back.
Wow! This is big news!
The thing is, though, the reader who ticked off Miller so bad later apologized and then proceeded, in my opinion, to state his case much more convincingly than Miller did his. Again, that's just a typical reader's opinion, and what do we know, right? Unless we happen to laud you, in which case we're brilliant!
Tell Ira thanks for picking the Packers to win, since he's usually wrong about his predictions. When it comes to stating the obvious, however, he's right up there with the doh elites.
