If you haven’t heard by now, Thayer "That’s Laughable" Evans was laid off by Sports Illustrated earlier this week. Typically, a man’s job (or lack thereof) is no joking matter. However, after Evans’ failed attempt to bring down the Oklahoma State football program in a five-part series, I figured it would be appropriate to reflect on his accomplishments as a journalist, and a person. Here is his eulogy:
Welcome, friends and family. Today is a sad day, as our beloved Thayer Evans had his career cut down in the prime of its’ life. Many people will say it is tragic, and many will say it was undeserved, but the fact of the matter is this; Thayer is gone.
