Larry Kane: Hated Online

Yesterday, veteran Philadelphia newsman Larry Kane blogged about the reaction to his comments on Giants coach Tom Coughlin and how the post got more traffic than anything else he’s ever posted on the site.

After Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes missed the first of two field goals in the fourth quarter, Coughlin screamed at his kicker on the sideline. And Larry Kane was having none of it, writing “his actions diminish sports in general.” I’m not sure how Coughlin yelling at his kicker diminishes my daily run, but whatevs.

Well, apparently, it generated a lot of responses and Kane realized he could get another post just by writing about the comments. He’s getting this blogging this down pat already!

Over the last several months, I have received many emails, mostly clean, very fascinating, and sometimes, nasty. The ones I received on this entry about Tom Coughlin were, at times, biting. That’s okay. Either the entries are written by people who honestly disagree, self-loathing Eagles fans (I’m sad for them. We still have a great team here) or Giants fans sending this website as one angry chain letter through the New York area.

The only letter that really upset me was the guy who called me “an old anchor who can’t get a job.” To him, I say that 65 is the new 40, unless you can’t spell your own name, which this guy could not.

An old anchor who can’t get a job? I just got emails within the last hour calling me “a sexist asshole” and “fucking moronic.” Still, it’s nice Kane’s starting to get hate mail; pretty soon he’ll be posting puppy photos and writing about Ron Paul.
