    I got to know Tim pretty well on the Dolphins beat, and he made an immediate impact in a very short period of time after joining the Post last October. Not only did he exhibit the skills of a top-notch reporter and writer, but he is one of those people you can't help but like and wish the best for. Good pick-up by ESPN.

    Hiring, caring about the product, interested in making it better. You know, all that stuff newspapers have quit doing.

    And in case I missed it, Graham Watson of the St. Louis P-D is heading that way, too, to help out on colleges.

    You could make a case they're overextending, but as the 800-pound gorilla, probably not.

    I really hate to say this -- but the point someone just made about over-extending is probably the bad news to come out of all these hires because it won't be long before some bean counter looks at the bottom line and makes the decision that there needs to be some belt-tightening going around and guess where that will take place......
