TMQ AND HARVEY: With Gregg

TMQ AND HARVEY: With Gregg Easterbrook's Tuesday Morning Quarterback column returning, on FootballOutsiders.com, next Tuesday, TMQ and Miramax chairman Harvey Weinstein have buried the hatchet. Weinstein, one of the Hollywood moguls who Easterbrook wrote "is a Jewish executive who worships money above all else," has accepted the writer's apology, according to the Daily News' Lloyd Grove.
Weinstein's letter to Easterbrook ends with the line ""As Claude Rains said to Bogart (in a film I'm sure you liked, made by a Jewish executive), this could be the start of a beautiful relationship." Except the actual "Casablanca" quote to which he refers is "the beginning of a beautiful friendship," not "start of a beautiful relationship." And Bogart says it to Rains, not the other way around. Nice to see the friggin' chairman of Miramax has such great knowledge of one of the most beloved films of all time.
