Paul Farhi said yesterday that colleague
Tony Kornheiser (left) made few missteps but offered little for the highlight reel during his "Monday Night Football" debut. "He wasn't especially witty, provocative or insightful in calling the Raiders' 16-13 win over the Vikings from the Metrodome in Minneapolis." Kornheiser writes today: "I think what makes me happiest was that I didn't throw up. (Though if I had, I would have aimed at that putz in Style.)"

Kornheiser on Farhi's review: "I apparently got ripped in my own newspaper, The Washington Post, you know by a two-bit weasel slug named Paul Farhi, who I would gladly run over with a Mack Truck given the opportunity. I understand I'm a public figure and I'm subject to review, I thought my own newspaper would be kinder and I wouldn't be back-stabbed by this guy."

Farhi tells Felix Gillette he was pleased by his editor's desire for an independent-minded review. Still, no matter how you look at it, assessing your colleague's work is a tricky task, says Farhi.
