I heard that there was a writer, back in the day, who went from covering preps at the old Miami News directly to the Washington Post. Bill Brubaker, I think. Does that sound right to any of you old-timers? :)

Izzy has used NYT leverage already to be an occasional Herald columnist. (Not that I blame him.) But I bet you're right ............. We could lose him.

Who WAS covering the Knicks? Howard Beck?

Borges probably is around 56

If he got caught working for a source while he was suspended .......... well, that's good enough for the big --30-- right there.

He's a very well-known guy, on the level of sports writers who aren't on ESPN all the time. Here is what I found disappointing: The Boston Globe story should at least have noted that he had recently been suspended. Especially since the plagiarism followed high-profile cases at the Globe in the...

SND posting reads like a press release, no?

By the way, Florida does have high property taxes, but there is zero state income tax. And that is the case in only a few states, I believe. (Nevada, Texas .......)

I don't understand how you can function without a sports editor. SOMEBODY is going to have to decide what you put on the sports cover ......... whom you hire when you have an opening, etc. Seems like someone will emerge as sports editor. Maybe it's camouflage to make a change without hurting...

Cox seems pretty rational in Austin and West Palm Beach. Less so in Dayton and now Atlanta. Sources tell me AJC also is getting rid of the sports editor position. Can't figure that one out. They hired a great guy just three or four years ago...
