    I miss seeing him hungover in press boxes. He'd come in for a 1 p.m. Sunday NFL game looking like he'd been hit by a bus.

    It’s not only low, it’s stunningly low.

    Perhaps the LAT editor could get by on $175,000-ish a year and the promise of "exposure" for his clip file.

    I thought he was at the Sun-Times, not the Tribune.

    I think that was a joke, Sports Barf style.

    I think.

    It's been all downhill ever since Tribune Co. merged with Times Mirror in 2000. Obviously, given what has happened in the industry, Tribune eventually would have been in trouble no matter what, but that deal (which included multiple L.A. Times soap operas over the years) arguably exacerbated the process and set the stage for the Zell acquisition and all else that has followed.

    Just looked at the TransAmerica website to check on my Tribune pension.

    Still there. :)

    He’s busy taking JV hockey results for the National Hell League.
