    That's too bad. Having been to Denver several times, I think the RMN is the better of the two papers as far as sports is concerned. Plus it has Tracy Ringolsby on staff (no, I don't know Tracy... lol), one of the best baseball writers in the country IMO.

    That, and I like the tab format. I hope the right company buys RMN, if anyone does.

    Any guesses on who, if anyone would want to buy a newspaper company these days?

    Sadly, I think this paper will fold.

    If I can pony up $500, does this mean I can be Ringolsby's boss?

    Let's start an SportsJournalists.com consortium, pull together a five-figure offer, buy the place and hire all of us! ;D

    Was just about to post this....
    Looks like the bad news just keeps coming.
    Not surprising that this move would come from Scripps, though.
    More money for Rachael Ray!

    I heard there is a buyer who would move the paper to Quebec.
