Mitch Albom has fabricated a column. (via Metafilter)
Posted by DrMabuse at April 8, 2005 04:58 PMDon't forget to mention that the little man ripped J. Blair a monster hole in his commentary column when his falsities were exposed.
What he did was weak: not just stating two former Spartans were at the final four game the night before, but telling how each one arrived, what they wore and describing reactions one had after hearing the band play the fight song and his reactions to cheerleaders.
His apology was bullshit: "you may think this was minor." Hey Mitch, we'll decide what we think, you stick to making things up and apologizing for it.
Later that evening on the Detroit NBC affiliate, in a phone interview, he was laughing it up, stating, "Yeah, can you believe I actually believed a couple of athletes?"
He should lose his job.
Enjoy,
