I believe most teams are out of the NFL pension plan and using a 401(k).

The complete picture is summed up here. You are either too young or too old, have too much experience or too little, while companies desire expertise at no price at all. You will be driven mad by this conundrum as you go on interviews at your expense to talk to people who want to incur no...

Did it have amphibious pitchers?

The four scariest words I ever hear from college kids are: "I'm majoring in journalism."

Outstanding individual. Loved working with him. He did everything from the NFL to horse racing to bull riding and poker tournaments. Incredibly versatile, hard-working guy. I wish him well in retirement.

Jack Kent Cooke also liked the Times and hated the Post. At one time, the GM (I think it was Charley Casserly) was under orders not to talk to the Post. And I seem to remember Norv Turner getting pimped out as a 'columnist' for a Times section. The Redskins used to have a deal with the Examiner...

deck was one of the all-time greats, whether breaking news or writing a lede that elicited a grin. He was a kind and considerate man who always had words of encouragement for aspiring (and sometimes perspiring) young journalists.

The honchos wanted the softball field, a heli-pad, and easy access to Dulles Toll Road so they could get to the corporate jets. They sold the land used for the softball field, no one can remember seeing a helicopter (not one belonging to Mother G, anyways), and they soon ditched not only the...

I think the website (sports anyway) is a hideous mashup of trite gossip and nonsense. Can't find stories of substance displayed. And the print product's Monday NFL coverage is clearly not an improvement over the past. There's even less space for too many roundups.

Darin has always been a good guy and a solid reporter on the Panthers' beat. I will miss his work. This is another example of how newspapers kill themselves. They take a shovel, beat themselves over the head with it until they are senseless, and then bury the people who excel at their craft.

Re: Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously? I would say he is the "hair apparent" to Barack Obama.

Can't remember who it was that told me this story but it was an NFL player who always signed for fans after training camp practices. He said there was "a rule of 100." You sign for 100 people and head for the locker room and the 101st tells everyone what a jerk you are for not signing. Thought...

Great story in the SI vault on Cookie by Bud Shrake. From 1964. Here's a link .... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1076725/index.htm

Maybe I missed it in scrolling through, but did anyone mention Sean Taylor of the Redskins?

While you're researching, trying "poring over various sights" and not pouring. Poring, as in "to read or study with steady attention or application: a scholar poring over a rare old manuscript."

I thought Bruce Keidan was absolutely brilliant. Very sorry to hear this news. Way too much of it lately.

It's a way long time since I covered hockey but I remember Jim Kelley well from trips to Buffalo. Good man, good reporter. Very sorry to hear this news.

This was a good man and a terrific writer. Mike made his battle with cancer public, wrote and spoke eloquently about it, as he always did about sports and anything else he set his mind to. I first got to know him when he worked at The Record in New Jersey. Very sad day...

Knew Leah and her dad. Mo Siegel was a Washington institution as a newspaperman. Leah leaves a legacy as a human being larger than almost any I can think of right now. Pick any superlative you like for her -- smart, talented, courageous. Just a wonderful person. I extend my sympathies to her...

Loved those pictures of the Polo Grounds. Saw the Mets play there a couple of times. Shea Stadium as well. Had season tickets in the upper deck for the Jets.
