editors who live in glass sports pages shouldn't throw stones

Better late than never, I suppose. But, seriously, who would have less credibility than Jon Mark Beilue, former Sports Editor, to bemoan the fact that athletes get more attention than academics? John Madden, maybe?

Now that Jon Mark has risen past Sports Editor to a new level of incompetence, will he use his influence to start a new section called "Smart Folks" with as many pages as the sports section? I mean, the paper he works for now devotes fully half its space most days to sports.

Stay tuned: the thesis of Jon's next column will be "Texas has lots of fine universities that should get just as much attention as Texas Tech."
