Paul's a Hall of Fame guy and along with Phil Jasner one of the finest beat guys I've ever been around. Rare combination of brilliant writer and tireless reporter. This is so deserving. (Even though he drinks crappy beer.)

http://www.trentonian.com/article/20121024/NEWS01/121029770/former-trentonian-columnist-tony-persichilli-dies-at-59 Worked for the two Trenton papers since at least the early 1980s after starting out in the late 1970s at the Burlington County Times, just south of Trenton. Great guy and a...

btw, Conor Orr, who is also very good, moves over to the Jets

Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger, one of the best football beat guys in the country, is moving to USAToday to cover the NFL. Great guy, tremendously hard worker, terrific writer. Well-deserved. Jenny Vrentas, who is also very good, goes from Jets to Giants for the Ledger.

Wow, funny stuff. Yeah, I think everybody who's spent time around Mike in the past few years can see what an incredible evolution he's made as a person. It's easy to sit in judgment from far away. He did some awful awful things, paid a very steep price, and has come out the other side a changed...

I shouldn't even respond to this crap, but -- and I've said this before -- Michael Vick is one of the three or four nicest, most accessible, most thoughtful, most genuine, most honest, most cooperative guys I've covered in over 20 years on the Eagles beat.

Re: 90s NIT (Alt-Country)- Sweet 16 results/Elite 8 pairings Page 4 YGBFKM got it right, but … the name of the record is "Anodyne," not "Anodynne." And it's brilliant, but I actually think Still Feel Gone is better.

Come to Philly. Eagles post-game we [the beat guys] get a fair chunk of our stuff in 1-on-1's. You're not going to get everybody by yourself, but you figure out ways to do it. Follow a guy out into the hallway and grab him while he's waiting to do a TV hit. Get a guy walking to the bus. Skip the...

Beautifully stated.

S.Wenk was an amazing resource for me when I was dealing with some issues with my publisher on my last book. Went wayyyy above and beyond the call providing me with good info and support. She's great.

John does a terrific job & this really was great news. Shame he had to go through the experience of getting laid off before he was re-hired, but he's a class act, works hard, and asks great questions. Glad he's back.

My rule is never say anything on the air that i wouldn't write.

Les & Jeff are fine. They're two exceptional journalists and good guys, and something happened on a very competitive beat that they both regret. They've both moved on and I don't think they'd mind me saying they get along fine.

Kate's terrific and will do a fine job writing for the new ESPN-W brand. Very deserving.

fascinating stuff, thanks for posting

Chuck Newman, long-time Philadelphia Inquirer sports writer and an awesome guy, died tonight. He was 79. Been a tough time in Philly. We've lost Phil Jasner, Larry O'Rourke, Jeff Offord and now Chuck ... all Hall of Fame guys, total pros and class acts...

I would put Tear-Stained Eye, Windfall, Methamphetamine, Driving the View, Highways and Cigarettes, Outside the Door ... to name a few ... on par with Jeff's best

Mark Spencer. Incredibly talented guy and really brought out the best in Jay musically. Mark was in on the last couple Son Volt tours, but their handful of shows together -- just Jay and Mark and guitars - were something special. Saw 'em at Maxwell's a couple years back and it was an all-timer.

Still Be Around is just one of the most powerful songs ever written. I've always found Jay's music more enduring and more meaningful. I do enjoy a lot of Wilco, mainly up through Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and they really are great live, but Jay's work has always just resonated more genuine and real...

hey double down ... Jeff's perspective on the demise of Uncle Tupelo is a bit different than Jay's. this is from Relix Magazine in 2005. doesn't appear the piece is still in their on-line archive, but I saved it: [size=10pt]Sunk into the cushions in my living-room couch, Jay Farrar is...
