I don't deal with Billick on a regular basis, but every time I've spoken with him, he's been as nice as he could be -- and a great freaking quote.

I remember thinking I had really made it when they gave me my first trash-80 and sent me out to cover my first pro baseball game. I ended up buying my own trash-80 and then the 200 model. The 200 was much better, but it was a heck of a lot harder to type my story while driving back to the...

We get 28 cents a mile. It's been raised a couple of times in the eight years I've been here, but it practically took an act of Congress. We keep hearing they're "monitoring" the situation, while gas prices keep going up and up. By the way ... try to add a few miles to your expense report and...

It's not being vindictive. If they lie, the public should know they're lying. And if this guy has lied to you before, you definitely use a tape recorder. Make sure he knows you're using it. I usually start out by saying (after I've turned it on), "You don't mind if I use this, do you?" A while...

I have a very simple policy: Lie to me, and I'll fry your ass. Make this idiot look like the complete jackass he obviously is.

Just bumping this to see if there is anything new. Are they in freeze mode? Does the assistant have the inside track?

Kid banks in a 40-foot shot to win the game at the buzzer. In the locker room, coach asks me who I want to talk to. Naturally, I ask for the guy who hits the game-winning shot. Kid comes up and I joke with him that I didn't hear him call bank on that. Kid is laughing. Up comes the guy from our...

lie being the key word, of course.

I keep getting told, after saying, "It's in. It sucks, but it's in ..." that I'm my own worst critic. I prefer it that way. Keeps me motivated.

If it's any consolation, I'm not a big fan of everything I write, either. I always figure I could have done something better, be it a turn of phrase or a different word here or there. I've been in press boxes where I've actually seen people looking at their computers, laughing at their own...

For those wondering, Ralph went back to Colorado Springs to become EE at a weekly. A big reason for the move was so he and his wife could be closer to their family.

I've been threatened or argued with more than my share of coaches on all levels, but some of the best stuff happened when I was doing preps. I had a baseball coach threaten to kick my ass for misquoting him in a story that got him in a lot of trouble. I played the tape for his AD, the league...

I met Pete earlier this year. Seemed like a great guy. An earlier post said another ASE got the boot. Anyone know who that is? While I'm at it, does anyone know who was let go on news side?

Just bumping this to see if anybody's heard anything about this job. Have they brought anybody in yet?

Well, whoever gets it, it's a great gig. Look at the last couple of writers they had on that beat. Archer went to the Dallas Morning News to cover the Cowboys. Schad went to ESPN to cover college football. Darlington went to the Herald to cover the Dolphins. And who knows where Bedard could...

I just hope he stays the heck away from mine.

Thank God I don't work for that guy. I feel sorry for the people at the Merc. And I bet the people in Santa Cruz are going to church every day, praying Singleton doesn't buy them.

So this team is kicking off and the coach feels a tap on his shoulder. "Not now" he says as the ball lands in his return man's hands and the special teams action starts. Tap, Tap. "Hold on," the coach says. Tap, Tap, Tap ... as his offense is running onto the field for the first play of the...

I dealt with so many idiots during my prep days, it wasn't even funny. Let's see ... * Mother keeps calling me, leaving me messages about wanting to know how I pick who I do stories on. When I finally talk to her, she said if I don't do a story on her son "the quarterback" he'll never get a...

I wouldn't even give it a second thought. Buddy, get your fat ass outta my seat. If he doesn't move, get the SID. If the SID won't move him, sit next to him and "accidentally" elbow him every chance you get. If he's got a problem, he's got a seat with his name on it waiting for him.
