[Kasept]

Like most sources of smear and firestorm inviting outlets, this is a bizarre and sad spectacle Pricci has created. He gets nothing right as he clearly received all the supposed innuendo secondhand acknowledging that he has no idea what I actually said because he didn't bother to actually listen.

He was never called a moron by me, which seems to be his pressing agenda, though he has provided plenty of fodder for that now. On the Monday after the Personal Ensign, on TV and on ATR, I said, "calls on the internet for Rachel Alexandra's immediate retirement based on her tiring late in the race are moronic. Is anyone suggesting Life at Ten immediately be retired?"

At that time a comment writer at his website told Pricci that I had called him a moron to which Pricci then wrote several insulting things directed at me. I thought that silly and petty, but never said a thing about it. Pricci has seen me 3-4 times since then and not said a word, but obviously he has been laboring under the weight of this imagined slight.

So three months later here is this deranged and stunningly incoherent missive making little sense about anything except how anyone that has any dissenting opinion regarding Zenyatta's immortality deserves excoriation. I won't dignify his lunacy with any further comment, but I will say it's one of the greatest compliments to my career thus far to be included in a grouping with Andy Serling and Steve Crist, as well as fellow SiriusXM broadcasters Bill Finley and Dave Johnson.
