I Love You Paula Faris
Football Fan Needs A Life

I Love You Paula Faris

It was with great sadness that I read about Paula Faris' impending departure ("Faris to anchor in Chicago", Sept 27).  Now, it is too late to express what I have kept inside for so long: Paula, I love you.

You're the sole reason I tuned into Channel 9 at 11 pm on weekends. Your glowing personality and stylish outfits more than compensate for the torture that is John Matarese. I could even withstand Popo at times when you were in the same segment.

I wish you would stay, but I understand that the Windy City calls. If you find yourself back in the Queen City, look me up.

Football Fan Needs A Life

In response to Peter Freeman's editorial ("This is a more proper slogan, is it not?", Sept 23): Peter, get a freakin life. Your politically correct ass-hattery does more to damage cultural diversity in this city than helps.

Your argument might possibly have been be more legitimate had you shown an ounce of credibility. Since you had to Google the origin of the "Who dey?" cheer, you probably don't know who created that cheer. You probably don't know about the song from whence it originated. You obviously were not a fan in that Super Bowl year, and you have not been a fan in the decade of futility that was the 90's. Those of us who were, who have put in our dues, have room to comment on the slogan, but I say to you, stick to the Tempo section.

Bill Toomey, Greenhills
