Gene?

Dear Gene,

I freely admit that I am a freeloading, overentitled, spoiled brat who is deriving far too much utility from the world's best free sports blog, of which your Quick Bits column forms an integral part.  You owe us nothing.  I would gladly pay literally hundred(s) of dollars annually for the amount of information I receive here for free daily from sources like you.  If you want to take a day off, you totally deserve it.  But the thing is, I have seen you post a couple of times now that you were going to be out of pocket, and sure enough, the Quick Bits daily was duly posted.  Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays Gene from the swift completion of the Quick Bits column, it has seemed.  So, with no update today, you ok, dude?

He's been hired as Urban Meyer's personal assistant. They're tired of him getting all the recruiting scoops before they do!

Like we do at church, someone should go by his house to check on him. And bring him some chicken noodle soup in case he is under the weather.

But seriously, I hope he's well too.

Ditto the Pope - My beautiful bride is 36 weeks along, and I'm amazed beyond belief that you're cranking out the content you do here on top of two jobs and a pregnant female to care for... You are a rock star, Gene!

Congrats Bro....I've got 5...totally understand being busy as well as the two jobs thing.  I had two jobs when my first was born before I landed a J.O.B. in my related field of study from College.  It's all good man...I figured you were busy.  I did find the Gene? thread to be a bit cool though bc so many of us rely on your Quick bits:-) Thanks for all you and the 11W staff do for us man...greatly appreciated.

Quit one and get 11W to hire you.  I can't believe they haven't already.

I live in Alaska, so I just checked this for the first time today and the Quickbits were there, so I am lucky to live in a fucked up time zone.  But man Gene, congrats on the baby!!!  Your first?  Thanks for all that you do.

I left Atlanta airport last night without Quick Bits. But upon arrival in Santiago Chile today lo and behold it was there.  Thanks Gene and congratulations on the little one coming. I bet the Grand Parents are estatic.
