    Heard from one source, waiting for a few more, but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is supposedly extending its "desired buyout number" from 18 to 28. There will most likely be layoffs.

    Just called a guy who would definitely know there.
    This is absolutely false.

    Nothing like batting 1.000 on your first post.

    His best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who heard it at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

    This thread is useless.

    With or without pictures.

    Seriously? I just spoke to three people who work in news and they all said it is true. I don't know who your guy is ...

    Just got more info ... according to one writer, four guys in sports are on the list of buyout offers. Not sure if this is the most definitive source, but it does provide some insight into the situation there.

    Wow. Some good guys work in sports there. Hopefully we'll know more soon about their status.

    I just heard that Paul Meyer is on the list for taking the buyout. Not confirmed, though.
