I like Sid because I like nostalgia and the throwback to a bygone era. The world has passed him by, unfortunately, and it probably is too bad for Sid that neither he nor his employers will give him the hook. That said, who here honestly believes Sid writes his own stuff any more? As can be learned from listening to other columnists in the know, Sid's column is written by 5 or 6 punks. Sid probably doesn't even get to decide what color sweat pants he gets to wear, what color of pudding he gets to eat, nor what time he goes to bed anymore, let alone what goes into his column. News flash, Murray is dead, but the name is still on the restaurant.
What gets me is the same type of retard that complains about Sid's column still reads it. Same folks who complain about how terrible Pat Reusse is and how they never read his column yet seem well versed on his writing each time he presents the horrible truth about the status of Gopher basketball. Don't read it folks.
