Fear and Loathing in the New Millenium
Well, Hunter is writing again. Somehow ESPN convinced him to crawl out of the woodwork and write about sports, in a weekly column called "hey, rube". Of course, they couldn't contain him to the arena of sports any more than you could confine a crack addled mongoose. It still fries my brain to see the Good Doctor using terms like "email" and "websites".
I've archived the articles for prosperity, because who knows how long before the swine at ESPN remove them. I've removed all the media cruft and kept the words. Enjoy.
