Our fantasy baseball league is accepting teams for one more week!

The Tertiary Syphilis League has the requisite 12 teams signed up, but there’s still room if you want to get in on the fun. The draft is scheduled for next Saturday, March 15 (time TBD) and I’ll accept new teams through midnight Eastern on Friday.

Contact me if you’d like to play or want more info.

I would like to take this opportunity to gently remind everyone that this is not a political discussion site. MSNBC might be “the place for politics,” but ERT is not.

I realize that there is a very fine line between discussing the current, contentious political situation and the coverage of that situation on Countdown these days. When you comment, keep in mind that not everyone here has the same political views - now more than ever. So far, everyone has behaved admirably and the comments haven’t broken down into the chaos of, “Oh yeah? Well your candidate blows goats!” Let’s keep it that way.

Also, I have received in the past week some comments from people who felt the need to blow off some steam to Mr. Olbermann personally, mistaking this site for a direct pipeline to his office. You’ll notice the new disclaimer at the top of the sidebar.

Countdown is preempted tonight by the repeat of Tuesday night’s debate. (Thanks Houstonian!)
