BREAKING NEWS: Delamater Reconsidering Retirement


Almost as quickly as he retired, blogger Tom Delamater is reportedly having second thoughts.

A source who asked to remain anonymous said that Delamater is apparently considering seeking reinstatement into the blogosphere, although the allegation could not be confirmed by anyone close to the blogger or his family.

Delamater retired abruptly on Monday, citing the fact that he didn’t have “anything left to give” to his readers or the sports world. He called his retirement “the right decision” and that there was nothing representatives of Blogger/Blogspot “can do or say now to change that.”

But he is said to have had second thoughts almost immediately after making the announcement. Things only got worse when he tried to go fishing Tuesday and lodged a hook deep into the ring finger on his left hand. Reports of the injury could not be confirmed, but Delamater is alleged to have said that it is not serious and would not hinder his blogging ability. "What am I doing?" Delamater told ESPN's Rachel Nichols. "I'm not a fisherman. I'm a blogger."

Although few people seem to be losing sleep over whether Delamater blogs or not, ESPN devoted another 15 minutes to the story at the beginning of its 11 p.m. "SportsCenter" broadcast.

Haven't you exhausted all of your 15 minutes yet, Mr. Delameter?
