    Devin Hester, a Hall of Famer?

    I think so. And I think as time goes on and people really grasp what special teams means to an offense, that will only help him. If I'm understanding pro-football-reference's stats correctly, the Bears ranked fourth, first, second, second, first, 21st, third and 23rd in average starting...

    More Biogenesis fallout?

    Baseball reporters are (now) highly tuned into this - but isn't it possible we'll see golfers, basketball and football players dinged here, too? Honestly, I'm shocked we haven't seen any such names in the last few years.

    In house LONGform from the Bucs

    Reformedhack got to some of this as I was typing, but I too got through half of it when the lack of editing finally overwhelmed me. That, and the structure, just made it unbearable by chapter seven. That, and the fact that by that point the only quoted source was Smith bothered me. I get it's...

    APSE just posted a weird statement on the site mixed in with contest results

    This is more fascinating than the actual award results - according to Google - that blue link saying "this site may be compromised" means: To protect the safety of our users, we show this warning message for search results that we believe may have been hacked or otherwise compromised. If a site...

    UPDATED: details of new ownershipmodel at Chicago Sun-Times Media

    No - the Chicago Tribune does not yet have a paywall, but it seems to be coming - Baltimore is experimenting with one, I think.

    UPDATED: details of new ownershipmodel at Chicago Sun-Times Media

    Re: Changes/layoffs/new ownership at Chicago Sun-Times Media Oh - those layoffs the last 2 weeks hit the design desks and sports desk very hard. Sports writers from at least 4 papers were let go.

    UPDATED: details of new ownershipmodel at Chicago Sun-Times Media

    Haven't seen much on this in the last couple of weeks: (EDIT: thread title) Company sold to an internet holding group: http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20111221/BLOGS03/111229937/new-sun-times-will-move-toward-specialized-content-online Anyone with experience with Mr. Knight, or this...

    What am I missing in Wojnarowski vs. David Kahn?

    Forgive if this is being discussed elsewhere and point me to the running thread if there is one already - but this caught my eye as Adrian Wojnarowski begins and ends this column with calling David Kahn a "bad" and "lousy" sports writer when he was at The Oregonian...

    North Andover Mass. paper says NFL lockout ending

    Perhaps the reporters ripping this guy for breaking the news way, way early should've been so lucky to have in-the-know sources. many reputable outlets producing stories now saying how the lockout is indeed, nearly over. Perhaps the PFTers are just mad they were beaten by a regular beat guy...

    Sun-Times Media owner Jim Tyree passes away

    A comment at the bottom of this story http://feder.blogs.chicago.timeout.com/2011/03/16/how-long-can-sun-times-survive-without-guardian-angel-jim-tyree/ says STimes already facing staff reductions. Of course, it's just a comment.

    What to do going forward: CBS reporter sexually assaulted in Egypt

    Yes - she needs to be "on location" - but not in the heart of a mob that on more than one documented occasion showed its disdain for not only American reporters, but women. A building roof overlooking the crowd? Maybe on the edges of the activity? I watched the Amanpour report with my wife (I...

    What to do going forward: CBS reporter sexually assaulted in Egypt

    Re: CBS reporter sexually assaulted in Egypt I guess the reason I put this over here - rather than contribute to the threads on "sports and news" - is the role news gathering organizations play in the security of its correspondents, or whether they need to make news gathering decisions based on...

    What to do going forward: CBS reporter sexually assaulted in Egypt

    this sickened me. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thecutline/20110215/bs_yblog_thecutline/cbss-logan-suffered-brutal-attack-in-egypt I remember seeing a report by christiane amanpour where the crowd turned ugly and you could see the fear in her eyes as she cut the interview off and turned to...

    enough about conflict of interest, let's see some APSE results!

    "That said, it can't be a good thing that not one writer in Chicago reached the top 10 in any category. That's underachieving on a grand scale, though I know both papers are in crisis mode (Sun-Times' disappearing stock value, Tribune's Zell heck)." According to APSE handouts the last four or...
