I worked many, many Early Desk shifts with Dickie. (Never worked with Luther, but got to meet him.) He was one of those classic old-school newspaper guys who was a great mixture of cantankerousness (cantankerosity?) and graciousness. He would have to break in each of us eager young know-it-alls...

I will be HUGELY disappointed in the SportsJournalists.com community if SOMEONE does not come up with a home-run smart-ass retort to this line.

Robinson was indeed part of the Miami Herald stable in the late '70s and early '80s. He was known as "Dr. O," short for "Dr. Organization." I'll also stand behind everything Frank said about Anger but add an anecdote that happened before Frank came to Miami. Not long after Anger got the job...

So he's trading Nick Saban for Bill Belichick? Wow. Congrats ... and condolences. FOS (By the way, rb, Jupiter Hills called - they want their divots back)

Especially like your third choice, KJIM. My wife is a GWTW freak, but for years I resisted both the book and the movie, thinking both would be long and boring. Then, one night during a bout with insomnia, I came across a hardbound volume of the book in my living room. I didn't even know we owned...

Coyote, back in the day, was Da Bomb (of course, that expression didn't exist back in the day, but whatever). It had one function I still miss, IIRC. You could have multiple save strings of text - you could save different files on keys a, b, c, 1, 2, 3, etc. That was infinitely better than the...

Shot in the dark here, but ... Anyone know if the Joe DeCarlo who got whacked in Baltimore is the same guy who worked in Sports at the Miami Herald in the late '70s?

Only knew David in the media centers a couple of times a year, but I'll echo what many others have already said. He could be loud and opinionated (and my opinions didn't always mesh with his), but he was unfailingly helpful and gracious to me in our few one-on-one conversations. I always thought...

Geez, Slockett is (was) a forking institution at that place. He took a lot of shirt, but we couldn't have gotten along without him. Bon voyage, Mr. Aaron dude (AJC vets will recognize the reference). And George Leite is a guy I remember from years ago as a really, really bright kid - someone I...

I've done it, at a place where a lot of people did it (some more than once). That spoke to the affection most of us had for the place, even as we were leaving for (what we thought were) greener pastures. As long as you haven't burned bridges, there shouldn't be any problem in terms of your...

Honk if you've ever put out the Clipper. Honk

No love for "due to" (almost always used incorrectly) vs. "because of"? ???

Uh, Ronnie (or anyone else), correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Bisher DID take a buyout, then signed back on to do some columns on a contract basis.

The instruction stuff sells because golfers have always sought and will always seek "the secret." Deep inside, they all "know" that there's one tip -- one tiny little unassuming tip -- that will turn their game completely around. I know. I found mine several years ago. It was this: "You suck...

Here's a question: If a lefty is a "southpaw" (and you hear that term used a lot), why isn't a righty a "northpaw"? ???
