For those of you who weren’t watching last night, Crooks and Liars has video of Keith chiding Chris Matthews for his browbeating of Obama surrogate Kirk Watson last night (video of which seems to be everywhere). Everyone in the studio seems to be quite amused!

Sign-ups are still open for our fantasy baseball league! We have nine teams now, and need an even dozen to make a full league. If you’ve expressed interest I’ve sent you the sign-in codes. If you want to join the fun, or didn’t receive your code, drop me a line.

It looks like this Tumblr thing is working out, so you’ll now find a link to Tumbleblogging Olbermann in the side bar. If you haven’t seen our tumble feed yet take a look, won’t you?

Pitchers and catchers begin reporting today, so what better time to announce a league of our own?

Sign ups are now open to readers of Either Relevant or True and Palaver for the Tertiary Syphilis League at Yahoo. (Yes. Tertiary syphilis.) This isn’t a cutthroat game for the Sabermetrics crowd, so don’t be scared off if you’ve never played before. What better way to dip your toes into fantasy baseball than with people you’re familiar with?

Our draft will be on March 15, so get your team in before then. If you have any questions or better yet, are ready to sign up, comment below or drop me a note!

ETA: Yes, this is a private league and you’ll need the code number and password to join. That’s why you need to contact me if you want to play.

Chip Rowe on the Playboy Blog:

Two quick points: (1) I didn’t tell her to make her letter “gushing.” In fact, she wrote a smart response and we were glad to have it. I try to include a variety of views in the letters pages because I know from experience that people who agree with something are less likely to write–and this is born out by the fact we have since gotten letters from K.O. lovers who can’t believe all the K.O. haters who wrote. (2) Anyone who actually reads Playboy–rather than just posting snide comments about it (that “for the articles” joke is so clever! More, please)–can’t be too surprised. We have invited experts who might not otherwise see the magazine to comment, in whatever way they see fit, in our letters pages since the 1960s. It makes for a more spirited debate.

There you have it.

Boy, these past two days have made me weary. I mentioned to Stef that it might fall under “Be careful what you wish for,” but she thought “OH GOD WTF NO SRSLY EVERYONE, WTF” suited the situation better. I think she’s right.
