Apology for Big Yellow Nasty problems

Dear reader,

I want to let you know that everyone at turbizzi.blogspot.com shares your frustration with the early season technical problems with our college football content. I appreciate very much that you have chosen to read us and we value our relationship with you - fan to fan.

I want to apologize to you for the problems we've had and assure you that we are doing everything in our power to solve them and provide an experience that the best, most passionate sports fans on the Web deserve.

Our aim is to have our college football content operating normally for this Saturday's games. We will be updating you on our progress and resolution.

Reader, again we appreciate that you are reading us and we will do everything possible to make this a terrific experience for you this season.

Sincerely,

Juan Turbino
Senior Vice President and General Manager
Big Gold Nasty Sports Services

Okay, this isn't actually our apology. Juan Turbino isn't even a real guy, believe it or not. This apology came to all us Fantasy Football users from
John Kosner, senior vice president and general manager of espn.com (I basically substituted "college football content" for "Fantasy Football" and "reading" for "playing with").

If you check out BYN's earlier post gripig about ESPN's poor Fantasy Football interface, you'll see that the problem is even worse than we thought. So bad, in fact, that the entire site was inaccessible most of Monday and Tuesday. The apology came Tuesday evening, and I couldn't even check to see how bad the Eat-A-Beans whupped Fiala until Wednesday morning.

That's it from sports.
