    Field Level Media

    Did some freelance work last month for Field Level Media, but have not heard from them regarding reimbursement. Anyone have a similar situation? Guy there in charge had been pretty good in role as previous stop. Not so much any more. Just a heads up for others....watch out.

    Greg Doyel On Buzz Williams

    The move by Buzz Williams to Virginia Tech makes absolute sense. No athletic director or even president at Marquette. Who's running the ship up there? Is it sinking? How will either of the two new hires feel about the basketball coach - who is not their guy - making in the neighborhood of $4...

    Let's talk about "talk about"

    I was talking about "Talk about...." with another writer on the beat, and the the writer was going on and on about it. I wondered how difficult it is just to ask a question and not be so lazy. The writer agreed 1000 percent. Less than five minutes later, we're interviewing a player and the...

    Dear AP ...

    Tigers-White Sox game ends at 11 p.m. eastern time Now 11:40 p.m. - 10 minutes to deadline - and not even as much as a blurb on the game. Bums

    RIP Madison Square Garden (in 2023)

    The Garden is nearly done with a renovation that runs nearly a $1 billion, then is told to find a new home within 10 years? Hope the remodel was worth it. ;D

    Chip Kelly Takes Eagle Job

    Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles Life as Brian Kelly has known it at Notre Dame is over. Short of winning a national championship, let alone being competitive in a national championship game, the only direction to go for Kelly in South Bend is down. Lose a game in September next...

    ESPN to ESPN: No comment

    Speaking of ESPN, it really nailed down that Andy Reid "95 percent done" to Arizona Cardinals that ran earlier in the week non-stop on the nightly ticker. How did that one turn out? Quality reporting there by ESPN. Throw enough stuff to wall, something will stick.

    RIP Rick Majerus

    First post on this thread reads 5:17 p.m. I posted at 8:30 p.m. - Eastern time. By my math, that would have been three hours.

    RIP Rick Majerus

    Three-plus hours since this was posted and not a news story of it anywhere other than first mention that it's breaking on Twitter?

    30 for 30 running thread

    The guy's side trip to Duke, only to bash the school, made no sense. Look, I can go to Cameron and sit baseline and chant "Rock....chalk....Jayhawk" in an empty arena. Seemed unnecessary. A total "Look at me..." moment. Clown.

    RIP Junior Seau

    Something tells me this story will follow the Dave Duerson trail of being traced back to football. Especially with reports that he shot himself in the chest - like Duerson. So sad.

    Survivor: One World

    Hey, Colton....karma's a real bench isn't it? Maybe if he does return to the show in the future, he does so with a little more tolerance for others. His "I hate........" and "I hate......" was a little over the top. Next time look in the mirror before you speak, pal. And no way does he ever...

    Sports ed/college basketball reporter, Manchester, Conn.

    I understand that this job opened because Connecticut men's basketball beat writer Phil Chardis will be leaving to become the men's basketball SID at Connecticut. Phil replaces Kyle Muncy, who will remain at UConn but in another role within the athletic department. Muncy mentioned this via...

    Jeff Pearlman on Walter Payton

    Where exactly is all this going?? ??? What does the book highlight?? --Professional athlete who had a relationship with someone other than his wife? Shocking. --Professional athlete who relied on prescription medication after years of football took toll. Wow. Stop the freakin' presses...

    Jeff Pearlman on Walter Payton

    Walter Payton was considered a God in Chicago during his playing days on bad and then legendary Bears teams. But his life off the field, at least some of which is now part of Pearlman's book, was pretty much common knowledge in and around Chicago. I read the outrage of people who disagree with...
