[rant]ESPN Insider and other pay-to-read services on the internet are bullshit. You can't even read the AJC's sports columnists for free! God, get over yourselves.[/rant]

Yeah, the AJC insider is fucking bullshit..but we all know that your Clark Howard induced paranoia is the real culprit here. I mean, a dude who uses MY registration for NYTimes and WashPost.....

Yeah, but do you really give a shit what Terence Moore has to say on the AJC?


<----hates it too. I like Mark Bradley, Jeff Schultz, and (whisper voice) FURMAN BISHER's columns occasionally.

and the AJC ("welcome David" indeed)

also consider that Terrance (X) Moore is the only person in the history of 790 to ask for an appearance fee (and considering that they have had OJ Simpson, Ted Williams, Zell Miller, etc.---they paid......uh no)

I don't know of a way to get around using passwords completely, but this site will give you a username and password to use to log into papers and I think even ESPN Insider (though I've only used it for newspapers): http://www.bugmenot.com/

Edit: I just tried with ESPN Insider and it worked.

The ESPN site is a joke in general. They require a credit card on file if you want to post on their message boards. Uhhh...

Holy shit. I just noticed for the 1st time that Lil' Jon is wearing a UGA shirt, and may very well be at a UGA game in Derris' icon.
