Anyone who knows flatusyahu knows that we hold the Philadelphia Daily News in high regard. (Bill Conlin, after all is the mutant godfather of flatusyahu….only difference between us and him is that he can write…and as hard as we try, we cannot…..but how about them pictures!!!!)

But High and Inside blog-inside-a-newspaper writer Chuck Bausman (pictured above, in the center) has pissed us off one too many times.

In today’s “column” (is it really called a column when it’s only about 250 words long???? his parents must be proud.), he mocked all of us who take the NFL draft seriously (including you, Corky).

He wrote, “We are happy to report the NFL draft barely made its way onto our TV screen.”

Ummmm…..Chuck……isn’t it your job to cover sports? And what was a bigger sporting event this past weekend than the NFL Draft? NBA and NHL early round playoff games? PLEASE!!!

You are PAID to cover the NFL draft. Sure, sure, you don’t get paid much and probably have a night job announcing Lasalle University Field Hockey games…..but you ARE getting paid to WATCH and COMMENT.

You’re only doing the COMMENT part.

Send Brian Tierney back half your paycheck from last week, please.

We’ll accept your apology ONLY when you acknowledge that the NFL Draft is an important sports AND cultural event.

Anyone who wants to contact Chuck may do so at: highandinside@phillynews.com
