This is awfully high-handed. I don’t know if I’m in the category of the subtweeted, but being irritated at the “local boy done good” angle from the newspaper’s social and the league is not abuse of the local boy.
As you know I love and respect Tony’s work, and he’s delivered it at what must not have been a fun place to work for the last couple of years. While I find this tweet to be unfortunate, I am inclined toward forgiveness here. But I think it’s appropriate to write in our defense.
