Stay Classy, Peter Vescey.

     Peter Vescey is a hack sportswriter for the woeful New York Post, and a specialist in the cheap shot. He has also exhibited an obvious hatred of Charles Barkley through the years. 

     Barkley allegedly drove drunk the other night, and has made numerous poor choices during his time in the spotlight. 

     The thing with Vescey, though, is that cheap shot schtick he consistently brings to his work, which he often tries to pass off as wit and/or humor, while it is neither.

     I'm as much a fan of drunk driving as I am of Peter Vescey, and I'm not defending Barkley's behavior, but I found this piece to be especially, um, cheap, so I sent him an e-mail telling him so.  He is a sportswriter with an agenda.

     His e-mail reply is as snarky, witless, and sleazy as his work in the Post:

     Yeah, Barkley has been prone to bad decisions through the years. 

     A lot like the people who hired you.

     Can't wait for your next hit piece on an athlete you've prejudged. 

 

Peter.Vecsey  to me

Justice would be Barkley killing you or your kids or your father (who wishes he'd pulled out and come in the sink) while driving drunk...

Well, my father has been dead a long time, but he was one helluva fisherman. If Peter Vescey were a fish instead of a stinking, bottom-feeding  sportswriter, Dad would have had to throw him back because he was wormy and much too small.
