Welcome!

The Daily Quickie's run on ESPN.com might be over today, but that doesn't mean we can't continue the conversation.

Bookmark this site and check back starting tomorrow for shallow analysis, links to my favorite (and must-read) stories and blog posts of the day, plus all sorts of fun new stuff.

Your Daily Quickie has been a Must-Read of mine from Day 1. While I am sad that I won't have my daily digest of sport news to get me through my day...I am thankful of being one of the thousands/millions who tuned in every day to be a part of Instant History.

Thanks again!!!; 8/31/2006 11:08:00 AM

I loved reading the DQ every morning, and agreeing/disagreeing with your views. It was one of the high points of my day. So sad to see it's gone, but it does leave me with a lot of questions that the other readers have posed...

What on earth happened? Not wanting to pry, but everyone who's addicted to your column wouldn't mind some closure if possible. :)

Regardless, it'll be nice to check in and read your words here. (And avoid extra stories about T.O. at the same time... oh wait, that may not be possible anywhere on this planet... Noooooooooooooo.....); 8/31/2006 11:36:00 AM

at the time i started reading the comments here, there were 95, i can only imagine it's pushing 200 here fifteen minutes later. i echo most everyone else's thoughts, and am eagerly awaiting the answer to "why?"

Anonymous said...: I agree, dogbrew. Good to know you can still read a short, horrible column every day!; 8/31/2006 03:06:00 PM
Anonymous said...: Seriously, I stopped reading the DQ a couple of years ago. How can there be this many people who are sports fans who actually like this guy's take on sports? It is what's wrong with ESPN, attaching instant historical significance, BEST.EVER. nonsense, why some team has ZERO CHANCE EVER and yet they win that night, forcing opinion as fact. Choosing a team because of his wife. (or maybe because they are the BEST BASKETBALL TEAM EVER (this year)) I'm so glad you are regulated to this anonymous world of blogging. Consider this my kick to the stomach after you've been pummeled to the ground Shanoff.

The NOVA Report said...: If it were up to me, I would fart in Dan Shanoff's dinner every night. You sheep realize that he got FIRED from ESPN, right? Why would the not bring back a writer of his "popularity"? You would think he'd at least show up in SI or CBS Sportsline...

...but no. Shamoff is representing on Blogspot. Like any other schmo with a computre. Just like the Daily Quickie.

Worst. Writer. Ever.
Worst. Sports. Fan. Ever.
Biggest. Fellater. Ever.

The NOVA Report said...: How would YOU like to write your own daily Quickie? It's simple!

- Watch Sportscenter
- Sit at laptop
- Regurgitate same points made over the air
- Orally service your hag
- Post comments on Interweb

In just FIVE quick steps, you can be the Best. Writer. Ever.

Just like Dan.

Nothing says "April Fools" like the gridlock of bandwagoneers sure this is the year Roy Williams defies his history and wins that elusive title.

Now that I can't use the age-old "Red Sox win the World Series!" April Fool's joke, it falls on "Roy Williams wins a title!" to carry the load.

Don't go emailing me if UNC wins on Saturday night (see 3rd item). Your triumphalism will be answered on Monday morning, when I pick whoever wins the Illinois-Louisville game (see next item) to win the title game.

In exchange, I promise not to gloat on Monday if/when UNC loses to Michigan State.; 8/31/2006 04:33:00 PM

Seattle inks star Alexander to 1-year deal that allows Shaun to be a complete free agent after this season. (via ESPN.com's Len P.)

Anyone else notice an incentive problem? How can Alexander have both eyes on the goal line in front of him when one eye will always be on 2006?; 8/31/2006 04:38:00 PM

Its been fun and interesting as well as entertaining. I always knew the best of the day would be in the quickie and it never disappointed. Good luck to you and your future endeavours.

The NOVA Report said...: If you guys think that Shamoff is a worthwhile author, may I suggest you put down your People magazine, turn off Access Hollywood, and read something by Ralph Wiley, David Halberstam, Mike Lupica, Michael Wilbon, et al?
