    Ax was a pretty great guy. Met him on the basketball beat as a college sophomore, and he treated me like someone who was in the business for years. Loved to debate, and his voice was one-of-a-kind. He'll be missed.

    Very nicely written obituary by Paul Zeise.

    Definitely good work on Paul's part. Met Phil a few times. Really sucks to hear this.

    RIP
