(Putting this in the journalism forum, too, as we wait to see how the Boston Globe responds.) If I were Greg Beacham of the AP, I would be FURIOUS. And while I don't advocate for people losing jobs, this seems more like an agenda than a mistake. (Not sure where it belongs -- journalism thread...

What a fantastic hire. I believe Christina Kahrl is the first female to be hired as sports editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and I've no doubt she's the first trans person hired for the position.

He was much more than that, of course. I'll remember Mike for being a great friend of women in the business, back when there were only a handful. We worked for competing newspapers in Boston but he was always a gentleman and a kind soul who cared about the craft and the people around him. I'm...

Didn't see this elsewhere, thought it was interesting. Jay's quote is just so ... Jay. Mariotti and Paige To Reunite on Unmuted Podcast

Killed in a car accident. Met him a few times, seemed like a great guy. He sure did inspire people wherever he went. Update: Dennis Byrd, former TU and NY Jets player, killed in crash north of Claremore

My heart always stops when I hear of things like this. IED in a dumpster, according to reports. Loud explosion reported in Chelsea in Manhattan

Like probably everyone here, I'm tired of the Ryan Lochte drama. But this is so refreshing, because it paints a picture of smart journalism in this 140-character, get-it-first world. Definitely worth a read. How USA Today unraveled Ryan Lochte’s Rio drama

This is a fascinating read. BYH's head might just explode. An excerpt: Only years later would it become clear why Wilpon went for the deferral: The $5.9 million went into a Madoff account, which was theoretically supposed to collect a double-digit interest rate over the life of the agreement...

He's been on the stand for a few hours now. I'm following from afar so don't know the details, but apparently he was asked, under oath, if he was familiar with something called the disabled list. Seriously. (This is according to one of the tweets by the NY Times.) Also have heard that the jury...

And he's a good sport about it. Tim Dillard's impersonation is especially hilarious. (Videos at end of NY Post story.) http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/backpage/espn_kurkjian_on_players_ridiculous_Iu0BP4pJTxx6kNqa27csrL

No, not that kind. But this was hilarious watching the Giants celebrate their win over the Patriots as if it were February of 2008. Bopping, dancing, chanting, then Coughlin gets lifted atop shoulders. It was definitely a different side of him. And then everyone drops to one knee and starts to...

Texas jury deliberated for barely three hours after Jeffs, acting as his own attorney, used almost all of his allotted time for closing arguments by staring at the floor. Once he mumbled, "I am peace." Only other sound in the courtroom was coughing and the creaking of wooden benches. Odd trial...

Me, I'll likely go for a run, watch some hockey, have a glass of wine. But these guys, and plenty of crackpots I've been listening to on Coast to Coast radio when insomnia hits, think Judgment Day is nigh. Seems May 21 is the big day based on an evangelical preacher's mathematical system he...

Vic, a longtime columnist and sports editor at the New York Daily News, passed away this morning, leaving wife Roberta and daughter Katy. It's an awful day for the many, many, many people who loved him, loved working with him and loved reading his wit and insight over the years. His columns and...

I'm told by some of her friends that Leah would appreciate this, so here goes: Leah, an ESPN producer/reporter for some 20 years, posted yesterday on her Facebook page that her time on this earth was winding down -- "Elvis might be leaving the building," she wrote, and noted she was probably...

According to the calls my cop friend is receiving. NY news says Times Square has been evacuated. One report has car fire, another has car bomb. No links up yet as far as I can tell. Edit: Here's a short link, though the pictures on TV show a much larger area has been evacuated...

I'd say never twitter about your personal life at all, ever, unless you're the president or you have just cured cancer. But some narcissists just can't help it...

That would be his seventh wife, for moralists like Mike Huckabee keeping track. One of these days I think we might have to ban heterosexual marriage. http://www.nydailynews.com/

Nine times, this one to a lad nearly 30 years younger. Mazel tov Liz! http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/04/09/2010-04-09_ninth_times_a_charm_dame_elizabeth_taylor_78_engaged_to_jason_winters_49.html

Wright Thompson gets lots of love here for his writing and reporting (all of it deserved), but who knew he had such a deep, soulful voice? He narrates this four-minute clip (I bet he wrote it, too). You can hear the joy in his voice at the end. Just beautiful.
