TMQ

In which I recommend a newsletter

There is a guy named Gregg Easterbrook writing for the sports section of Slate.com. Gregg runs a mailing list called TMQ – Tuesday Morning Quarterback. If you are a football fan you should go with much haste and abandon to join the list. He is hysterical and brilliant. Every Tuesday night you’ll receive a wonderful compilation of the worst coaching decisions, best plays, and … well … lots of haiku.

Two Good Reasons to Love Slate’s Tuesday Morning Quarterback Mailing List:

  • He never writes about the Washington Redskins. They are the “Chesapeake Watershed Region Indigenous Persons”. The Tennessee Titans are always called “The Flaming Thumbtacks”. (Note their insignia.)
  • He often mentions Victoria’s Secret, BodyPerks, and Playboy.

  1. It seems that he made some comments that Disney took to be anti-semitic… Disney does not fool around (don’t mess with the mouse)

  2. TMQ no longer on ESPN.com Anyone know what has happened or where to read his column

  3. I am not sure why he is no longer writing for Slate, but I do know that you can still read Tuesday Morning Quarterback! His articles now appear in the Page2 section of ESPN.com.

  4. HOW COME HE IS NOT WRITING FOR SLATE ANYMORE?

  5. Go to http://slate.msn.com/?id=76816 and register for the “Sports Nut” newsletter.

  6. OK, so I read it. I liked it. But I see no instructions on how to sign up on a mailing list.

I'll never share your email address and it won't be published.

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
