I get that it's the NEW YORK TIMES, but anyone who's covered an event like this -- much less a title game that went down to the wire on deadline -- can understand such a mistake. Hell, I'd be proud to pen a story that good without deadline pressure. Pete is one of the best in the biz. Doesn't...

Very sad to hear this. Steve was one of the nicest guys out there and a hell of a reporter.

OK, I get it now. David Hale is a no-talent hack compared to this hidden gem of journalism that left Sports Illustrated to be the sports editor in Athens. Thank you for explaining it to me. Listen, like I said, I don't know this Ching character and don't wish him any ill will on a promising...

Perhaps the dumbest, most spiteful, immature comment I've ever seen on here. No reason to go there at all. Daniel Shirley is one of the best sports editors in the business. I don't know David Ching, but I do know David Hale and he was a tremendous hire. It sure does take balls to rip someone...

Very sorry to hear this. Greg is a one of a kind, and I'm fortunate to have worked with him. No one I've ever met has the same passion for college sports of all shapes and sizes.

Panama just conceded three goals in the final 20 minutes to get knocked out 3-1 by El Salvador. Wow. The spanish announcer is going bat ****. A 2-1 loss would have put Panama through. And never mind those two red cards they somehow picked up on the road. As a USMNT fanatic who has traveled to...

Hey Rabbit, I don't like it any more than you do. But it really is all about who you know, and that goes for every professional field. Each of the places I've worked, someone there knew me beforehand and I was talking to the sports ed before or very soon after the job was posted, if it was...

Good news ... Better news ... For the sake of the USMNT, I'd love to see what Altidore can do in a major league. And I think my blues got a whale of a coach capable of attracting top talent from Brazil and Portugal. Not bad at all, Roman ...

Mourinho isn't coming back, per Sky Sports. As a Chelsea supporter who watches every game and is still recovering from Wednesday, I haven't decided how I feel about Grant's sacking. It surprised me, to be honest. The results were consistently solid. I thought he did well considering the...

Funniest thing I've read on here in years ... not even close

Hey Ryan, I'm sure you would have been all over this thing, eh hoss? This is a tremendous story, the best I've read in some time considering the fact that no one (including all but one player on Tennessee's team) knew the star player had cancer. Amazing. Simply a fantastic job by a fantastic...

More proof ... http://www.post-trib.com/business/640812,lppaper.article These Paxton scum represent some of the most evil people in our business. Not only do they seem to enjoy firing people, but they severely worsen the product and force conservative editorial bias. Seriously, I wouldn't go...

Agreed

I was watching this as well ... - Not too worried, BUT Barbados tied Guatemala and Trinidad & Tobago this year. - I'd like for the US to have as easy a path as Costa Rica, but man, really tough draw for Canada. How nice would it be for them and Honduras to take Mexico out right off the bat? -...

Candidate C? This is a very good hire. Good people, too. Congrats, Allan.
