Sig1Hunter Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 His SI columns were a must read for me. Sports journalism is not what it was anymore. I had forgotten how much I missed his columns until hearing of his death. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerbelly Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Once you are in your 50's, you have entered the 'mine field of life', and anything can happen. I never lose sight of the fact that every day is a gift. RIP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket94 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I didn't either. I read his SI columns. I always thought he had a good and neutral point of view. I liked his mocks. Evidently he was doing some free lancing later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
