Now I don't need to wonder anymore what happened. Good explanation, too. Newspapers nationwide--especially the print versions--are struggling, and a significant part of the reason for it, ironically, is blogs like this, which offer a columnist's readers the opportunity to communicate instantaneously--not only with the columnist, but with fellow readers. No way to do that in print, obviously. Delighted the AJC saw fit to preserve this blog. That's a tribute to you as well. Thanks for responding, Tony. Now I don’t need to wonder anymore what happened.

The plan was to bring the blog back on Feb. 9 but the newspaper asked me to wait as they assessed a number of things. Newspapers everywhere are having to do this and I completely understood. In retrospect, we should have posted something to let you know why the blog was not there on Feb. 9. We shouldn't have left the readers hanging. I should have pushed to make that happen and I'm sorry I didn't. But they did come back to me and that's a tribute to you and all the people who support this blog. And I appreciate it.

Like the person who posted above I like Your balanced approach to reporting. Very rarely do you take the easy road of sensationalism that leads to the "he hate me" type of trash talking. Whats up with the NCAA investigation of Alabama? Saban and Co sure are keeping everything quiet. Maybe the Lanester could take a cue from Saban about keeping his mouth shut. Before the Bama Stans of the world jump me let me make it clear that I think a strong 'Bama is good for the SEC. Sorry Gen Nyland, but that's the way I see it. I have heard it reported that the NCAA asked for copies of all of Alabama's TV contracts. That doesn't look good at all. Would VT still want to play the Tide in Atlanta if the game wasn't televised? How would it affect SEC revenues if Alabama was banned from TV? Other than one local talk show and some rumors I hear from friends that went to Alabama I am not hearing anything. I wish you would look into the matter. Tony, Man, am I glad You are back! Like the person who posted above I like Your balanced approach to reporting.

I read in Creative Loafing the AJC cut loose employees in two rounds and they are about the drop the axe again, this time really hard. Yet you took the buyout, and then got hired back to do Mr. CFB not once but twice. It's not even football season. DOUBLE PAY BABY! You played the AJC management genuises like chumps. You the man. Go Gators. Tony glad you’re back, but SHOCKED. I read in Creative Loafing the AJC cut loose employees in two rounds and they are about the drop the axe again, this time really hard.

At some point, would you comment on the state of the Dawgs (football, of course). What do you think about CMR's approach like it's his " 1st " year as coach ; the more vocal leadership throughout the team ; Joe Cox , etc ? Again, welcome back ......
