    This might be one of the funniest things I've read in a long time!!! I think even Kornholer himself might think this is funny, since it's so over the top...

    The main page of the site also has audio from Mark Bushman's tv show interviewing various players after the San Jose game.

    Ian is my Dawg.

    Freddy alone on the field juggling

    I wonder if Korn-liar would have Ian on PTI? I'd watch that.

    Good stuff from Ian as usual. To bad Ian couldn't have worked in Robert Wagman's recent column into this column too.

    I'm beginning to wonder if Mr. Wagman could be koppite4ever...

    Ian's definitely in fine form this season, starting off similar to the team.

    The link hasn't moved. We're just experiencing a high amount of traffic at the moment between that and the audio files on the site. My apologies. I'm working to resolve the issue now. So far as I know, Kornheiser hasn't shut us down...

    Cross your fingers, but at last check, the site is back up again and Ian's article is once again free for the masses.

    Pardon the interruption...(yeah that's cheesy, but it was too easy...)

    The USL preview is done as a PTI parody, and much better than this.

    It was really funny also, but I wouldn't say much better than Ian's.

    I don't really approve of ripping TK in articles like this. He and Wilbon have the power to influence millions of opinions and that's important. Especially if he hates our guts. But this part was the best in my mind. Beat him with logic and not by trying to tear his guts out. TK has been around too long to let articles like this get to him. Great observation on this quote Ian.

    Man, I feel bad for you. I guess not everyone can have a brand spanking new Colecovision machine. I can play Q*bert in 16 colors!

    I'm a fan of Kornheiser's columns, but Ian's impression of Tony is classic. Ian's columns for onthesidelines are great so far this season- anyone know if he will be reprising his role as columnist for dcunited.com this year?

    I doubt it... I don't think the team would have published the last few columns he's written for onthesidelines. It seems like they pretty much let him write whatever he wants to talk about.
