Out of the wreckage of last wnkd's wacktacular loss to the San Diego SuperChargers comes the Raiders' decision to demote offensive coordinator Tom Walsh in favor of tight end coach John Shoop....

An exasperating, sodden, miscue-filled loss for our Raiders up in Seattle yesterday. What sort of headline should a recap of this game have? We explored this thought, and here's what we came up with. You should add some more in the Comments section. Here we go: ...

In continuing with the Raiders retro feel, they recently announced the hiring of new offensive coordinator Tom Walsh to replace whatever offensive coordinator they had before. Walsh, otherwise known as The Other Walsh, has actually been the Offensive Coordinator for the Rai-duhs before. In 1994. When current Head Coach Art Shell was the coach. It was also the last time Walsh held a coaching job in the NFL. How long before Jay Schroeder is signed as the new Raiders QB? ...

cover.jpgLast week's winner, Bay Guardian: Craigslist is destroying the fabric of America. We love this new news shorts column: Daly! Mocking Jordana Thigpen. Tim Goodman the TV critic was on Nancy Grace the other day? About the murder rate? Was this an interview about Nash Bridges? British grocery stores. Cover article: indie boy and Mission resident Kelley Stoltz. Rilo Kiley overhype begins. Hey Trimethldioxypurist, check out this article on the French-press Starbucks challenge! Indiefest! Color a Curious George to win a family four-pack to see the movie. And SFist Eve's horoscope: recognize your own inner strength and don't be distractible (hey! look over there!) The SF Weekly: Cover article: Rilo Kiley overhype! Matt Smith on the central subway plan. PUNI suggests a "Folsom St. Prison Fair." Ha! In what was clearly going to be the cover article until the Rilo Kiley overhype began, an SF group producing radio shows for Nepal. Hey, the guy who produces the Daily Show is coming to town. Ced on Meredith. ...and oh no! Music columnist OK Then is leaving the Weekly too! What in the Tom Walsh is going on over there? After the jump: the East Bay Express and the Metro. ...

Last week's winner, the East Bay Express. The New Times redesigned the webpages for all their publications this week so we're having a hard time finding links today. Bottom Feeder on the SFBG missing JT Leroy, and mayor Jerry Brown says "s***." Cover article: Indian tribes kicking out tribal members. Mmmm, iguana meat. Down In Front checks out the music at NBA games, and we agree with everything on the Cred Sheet (what are Trent......

Well, L'affaire Leon at the Weekly certainly didn't come to a conclusion we expected. We crawled out of bed this morning only to read that he'll no longer be appearing in their pages. If you want to read his Infiltrator features, you'll have to buy his books. But was this really all Harmon's fault? Or is it a symptom of much bigger problems at the Weekly? Morale, and therefore quality, may be in decline......

model3-9941.jpgOnce again, SFist is here to stick up for ol' Harmon, as he's run into controversy yet again in his most recent SF Weekly Infiltrator column, "Dieter Gone Wild." In this episode, Harmon's mission was infiltrating the AVN awards. Harmon must have gotten turned around on the highway, because the AVN awards were in Las Vegas, and Harmon seemed to end up at a nightclub in Los Angeles. You can understand that we're all a bit jumpy, considering recent events. After getting through to the switchboard via the classified sales desk, we left a message for Executive Editor Tom Walsh, whom we've contacted before. One unexpected grilling about who we were later (um, how about best local blog as chosen by the Weekly?), he let us know that they could verify Harmon was at the FOXE Awards in Los Angeles, and that they'll be issuing a correction. Harmon wrote to say, "[T]he copy editor got it wrong. It was the FOXE Awards and it happened a few years back. They were supposed to put that in the lead and didn't." Which begs the question: Why are we fact checking Harmon's work? We don't see an opening for fact-checkers at the Weekly, so the position must already be filled, right? It's not like it involves anything more than a familiarity with Google search. ...

We received an email from Russell Stein who pointed out his story on IndayBay.org, "Harmon Leon - the Steven [sic] Glass of the Sacramento News & Review?" Big red-alert lights went off at the SFist Fortress of Solitude -- Stephen Glass is (or at least, was) the go-to boogeyman of ethical impropriety in the field of journalism. Harmon Leon is the hilarious dude behind the SF Weekly's "Infiltrator" features (and dropped by SFist for......
