I've killed most of the morning reading the excellent story at Grantland, "The Greatest Paper That Ever Died." Some of the best bits: A section devoted to the smugness of Mike Lupica. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6629257/the-greatest-paper-ever-died Also love the line, "Did Governor...

Just saw this one move. RIP. Death of a race horse was great reading. W.C. “Bill” Heinz, sportswriter who chronicled Ruth, World War II, dies at 93 BENNINGTON, Vt. (AP) — W.C. “Bill” Heinz, a sportswriter and author who witnessed the Normandy invasion on D-Day, covered some of the...

I know it's early, but does anyone know if/when the SJI conference is scheduled for in '08? I've never been, but if I recall correctly, it's usually in Tampa, usually in April. Reason I'm asking now is that there are Springsteen concerts in Orlando on April 19 and Tampa on April 21. If the...

Saw this move the other day, and am surprised it hasn't shown up here yet. The Philly Inquirer is going to have advertisers sponsoring a business column. Sounds like the line between editorial and advertising isn't only blurred, but removed all together. Another sad day for our industry when...

Mrs. CrazyCat and I are buying are first house. We've been looking for the last few weeks, and finally found a nice home that is exactly what we've been looking for and it's in our price range. It would be a no-brainer, except for one problem. The house has some considerable bowing in the...

Mrs. CrazyCat and I are making a long move across the country in the weeks ahead. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on which moving companies are the best and which ones we should stay away from. The last time I moved, it was a whatever-fits-in-the-backseat sort of thing, so this...

I didn't find another thread on this yet, so hopefully I'm not DBing it. Gary Smith's Tillman story in this week's SI was phenomenal. It's probably redundant to have a thread praising his writing every time the guy writes a story, but it's again worthy. I loved the way he framed the story with...

Fine people of SportsJournalists.com, I need some advice. Earlier this month, I paid my first student loan payment. I mailed the check on July 1. The funds were deducted from my bank account July 5. I paid this bill on time, like I have done with every other bill I've gotten in my entire life...

Aside from the lowest interest rate possible and lowest monthly payment, what should I be looking for from a mortgage company? Alternately, what should I avoid?
