Look Who's Back

Greetings, all. Previously known as Sock Puppet on SJ.com, I’m returning as myself. After leaving Fort Worth Star-Telegram in summer of 2008, was let go by Big 12 Conference in October 2015. Spent the next four years freelancing. Been fully retired for over a year. More attuned to what’s going on in our country politically than sports journalism. My angry old man act on Twitter will likely appear here, but interactions with SJ.com members will not include personal attacks. Happy to engage in discussions about the biz (what’s left of it) and help young writers with advice on writing and their stories. My 40 years of experience qualifies as “old school” and might not apply today, but I’m willing to help and share.

 

Live long and prosper.

 

Pistol Pete! Good to see you here again!

 

Yep, that's me working undercover.

 

Your team is already here.
