Clearing up the blog confusion

Some of you have wondered why Jeff Zrebiec was credited with a bunch of excellent blog entries on Peter Schmuck's blog, but those blogs showed they were posted by Tim Wheatley. Well, here's the deal: Schmuck is such a hard worker that it takes two or three of us to do his job -- NOT.

Jeff was filling in for Peter while he's on his European Vacation and as a first-time poster Jeff doesn't have blogging software. So his editor did the posting. And his editor has enjoyed editing in a few shots at Pete in the blog. It's our national pastime in the office, but rarely do we get to take shots in public. Maybe next year they'll invite me to the Schmuck roast.

Schmuck will be back next week handling the blog all by himself. We hope that clears up the confusion, but with Schmuck writing the blogs you never know!

Tim, say what you will, but it has become clear to me that Jeff has found a way to have Pete sent to Siberia.

Jeff, you've done an impressive job. But Pete, if you're out there send up a flare. We'll get a team of huskies out there looking for you. If that doesn't work, well it should make a good novel.

Pete -

European vacation? Remember, no video of the wife in the hotel room!

Jeff is doing a fine job, but hurry home, the natives are getting restless after the Donnie Murphy signing, and are spewing venom after finding out our hero Burress admitted to having blurred vision and succumbing to LASIK.

Jeff- Any news on an offer to Tex? i know we will not sign him, that would be something the fans want and way to exciting, but I would like to know that they at least made an offer so they can take credit for really doing absolutely nothing.

Pete, I have it from unnamed sources that you have been traded to the Examiner for two laptops and an intern to be named later.

Peter, I don't know if your travel plans take you to Latvia, but Riga (along with Prague) are probably the two nicest cities in Europe. They are charming in the same way that Annapolis is the most charming American city that I have visited. If you head in this direction, let me know and I will be happy to show you the sites of the city and take you out to one of the most unique restaurants you will ever see.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
