Sports Reporter, Atlanta-Journal Constitution - Atlanta, GA

So Tom Stinson is no longer on staff? I always enjoyed reading his stuff.

 

They've lost more people than they have. Some really good, some just OK. But a whole lot of folks just in the past couple years alone. Which sports dept. has lost more talent than this in no more than 3 years?

And I'm probably not thinking of a handful more.

 

Ken Sugiura? Curtis Bunn? Or were they already gone?

 

Sugiura's still there. Still writes sports.

Curtis Bunn, my sources say, was a disaster. Not much of a loss.

 

Moddy is correct about Sekou Smith going to NBA.com.

 

You need to check your sources. Bunn is doing quite well and was just as talented as many of those listed earlier.

 

Stinson is now what they call a ``word editor'' in the land of new-age titles.

I believe that's like a line editor but I'm not really sure.

 

Might be a silly question, but any word on what the AJC plans to do for GA State football coverage for next fall?

 

From what I overheard at the GSWA meetings in the summer, Ken Suguira will handle the Panthers.

 

I would think Chris Perkins would be a good fit for this if he wanted, with his previous ties to Cox.
