    From what I hear, Zimanek was pissed at the move, as are several SE's in Gannett lately.
    My last shop had eight full-timers in sports. That was five years ago.
    After the latest round of layoffs, they have half that with more cuts likely.

    Not a lot of guys in the field I'll stick up for on this board, but Brad's good people. I've met a lot of asshole SE's, and Brad's one of those guys who always returned a call even when he didn't have to.
    Holy shit! is this a thread-jack?

    Brad is good people. He's bar-none of the nicest SE's I've ever had. When the news came down about Dylan, Zimanek and Tomlinson were the last people to know.

    The worst part of the job cut is that the P-C's Packers Preview and Packers Final (which were very good) will be almost entirely filled by P-G stuff.

    although, i wouldn't find it hard to believe that zimanek was one of the last to know, with that fine journalistic sense of his

    What about Wisconsin AP's Chris Jenkins? That guy is quite talented.

    From the Pipeline:

    Turns out Jason Wilde was contacted for the gig, but not everyone at the MJS is sold on him (including the two beat writers). Apparently there's a guy in Tacoma, I believe, who has also been contacted and is the front-runner, although not sure if he's interested.

    Tomlinson is real good people. Hope he lands on his feet.

    If they're calling Tacoma, that would probably mean Mike Sando
     
  11. The NFL traveling grind? Yeah, seems rough.

    I could be wrong, but I think he means the grind of driving from Madison every day.
