Oldest working sports writer in the world dies

I can't stop laughing. That's pretty awful.

 

FYI: The AJC's Furman Bisher turns 90 on Nov. 4.

 

I wouldn't have said 90. Thanks Ronnie for the 4-1-1

 

Pretty sure Sid in Minneapolis is 88.

 

And he hasn't accepted a buyout? What kind of a SE are you?

You're supposed to beat him down until he walks away. You did it to Barnhart, can't you take down an 89-year-old man! These are tough times dammit! Do you expect the AJC to continue to pay him a top salary just because he can tell you the score of the 1936 Florida-Georgia game?

BTW, I'm totally joking... ;D

 

I would have guessed 104.

 

Uh, Ronnie (or anyone else), correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Bisher DID take a buyout, then signed back on to do some columns on a contract basis.

 

Unless that contract is really bad, I think that means he's still getting paid to write about sports.
