He still did the Saratoga racing stuff this summer, although it might have been just daily selections.

She's actually fairly well known. Been there forever. For years, she did sideline reporting on low-profile college football and basketball games. She actually has been bumped up to more important games the last 3 years or so, doing the ACC basketball tournament and higher profile college...

As someone else pointed out, and those of us here who wrote headlines for a living, you have to go out of your way to write a terrible headline like that. That wasn't a mistake or poor judgment. So when Bud Grant dies, it'll be Bud Grant, whose teams were outscored 95-32 in 4 Super Bowl losses...

This seems too crazy to be true. Outrageous. How about Marty Schottenheimer, 615 winning percentage, took 3 franchises from last to first, 200-plus wins, passes away.

My thinking on it was Kavanaugh and his buddy were drunk, and they did what drunk punks in college do, act like jerks. They probably wrestled her, tried to scare her, and coped a feel in the process. She remembered it being more serious and more threatening.

More layoffs today, followed by the usual BS story from the editor. Try and read it without throwing up. Plain Dealer layoffs take place amid newspaper industry challenges

One of my last newspaper jobs, about 8 years ago, a local business set up a test. He printed a coupon in his ad, they ran it for a month. Not one person brought it in, so when the ad rep went to the business to reup them, they rightly canceled. I thought if more businesses did that, this place...

Anyone old enough to remember the Odd Couple episode where they flashed back, saying Oscar's first job was with Playboy magazine? Murray the Cop: "You used to work for Playboy? How come you got fired? Oscar: "What makes you think I got fired?" Murray: "Who would quit?"

No message from the Publisher saying "Our core mission remains the same......"

Take a look at NFL.com. The entire site is filled with stories like that, and it's garbage. The so-called writers sit behind a desk, never do any reporting, find stories online from NFL beat writers, take their quotes and write 10 inches on it. It's unofficial plagiarism. I emailed a couple of...

Hearst has been trying to get Jacobs since back in 2010 right after they bought the CT properties (I was in Connecticut at the time). Rumor was he was close to accepting an offer and decided against it to stay in Hartford. The rumor mill also sad they were offering him 6 figures.

There's a great exchange in the "Seinfeld" limo episode where George wants Jerry to jump out of the moving limo to escape the Nazis with the guns. George: "Why don't we just jump out?" Jerry: "We're doing 50 miles an hour!" George: "Drop and roll, you won't get hurt." Jerry: "Who are you, Mannix?"

Editing was more important when there was just the print edition, it was wrong it stayed wrong. Today, these news outlets hope nobody catches the mistakes, and if they do, they just fix them online. They know most people are not reading the print product. I do give the Times credit for...

Yes, and good luck to those trying to get a job with the Cox so-called "talent acquisition team."

I find this topic very interesting, since I also don't have a degree but have worked in journalism now for 25 years, starting at 19. At the time, I had a chance to work full time at a small paper and jumped on it, hoping the experience in my resume would trump the lack of a degree. At that time...
