WTF? Breaded chicken that’s grilled? Gross. When you go the breading route you have to pan fry or deep fry.

Do this right and it’s very good. Called kettle fried chicken.

I’ll throw it in the rotation and give it a whirl. I just can’t stand reading Emo Leitch.

Yeah, I don’t blame you for that, his touchy feely stuff tends to dominate the site, but Mike Tanier, Chuck Culpepper and Matt Brown are all quality. Plus there’s mushy typical columnist stuff like Leigh Montville and Gwen Knapp if you’re into that sort of thing.

what the hell is Sports on Earth?

Never heard of it.

Also, I read a lot of sports sites and completely forgot Sports on Earth was a thing. Bias on my part.

This is a shame, because for as much complaining as people do about the content here, at ESPN or Grantland or wherever, there’s a good amount of meat-and-potatoes content there.

He has a dish named after him at Governor Stumpys in Brookside.

POSNANSKI’S CHICKEN SPIDINI Strips of chicken, lightly breaded and fire grilled, topped with a fresh tomato pesto marinade, parmesan cheese and parsley, served on a bed of pasta with marinara. A favorite of Joe Posnanski, a local sports writing legend. 12.49

Is it really? Dawg

I have no idea. Just that would be a reason why a write would jump ship.

TBL – kinda O/T – how much is left on Rick Reilly’s deal at ESPN?

Pretty sure it expires this year. Not sure if he’s re-upped or not, though.

It would have to be filled with incredible corporate douchebaggery. Like adding Poochie to Itchy & Scratchy.

Wait, wasn’t that Homer’s idea?

…

Ah, now I see.

Sports on Earth is failing.

Is it really? Anyone know how Grantland is doing in terms of bringing in its own money? Seems like they have 1,000 writers (all of which need an editor).

He shows up to the office and his peers have put goofy Joe Paterno cardboard cutouts at his desk along with faux Pulitzers for investigative reporting.

Sports on Earth is failing. He’s smart enough to know when to jump ship. He left the Star before they layed off 90% of their workforce.

and if he gets any TV stuff

He is horrendous on TV and would probably be the first person to say so

Just looked over at Sports On Earth and one of the lead stories is Leitch complaining about how bad the Super Bowl is to get paid to go cover.

Good idea sending the guy who doesn’t really like football all that much to cover the Super Bowl.
