Great hire. Izzy will do a fantastic job.

Let me echo the good things about Tenorio. Good guy, good reporter. Great hire.

I second Berry Tramel at The Oklahoman. I'll also throw out Dirk Chatelain (Omaha World Herald), Dave Hyde (South Florida Sun-Sentinel), Brad Townsend (DMN) and Kate Hairopoulos (DMN).

Good gig at my ol' shop. The World covers three D-I football schools - Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Tulsa - plus Oral Roberts basketball. The paper still travels well in football, because the higher-ups have a commitment to covering sports. Even in today's economic climate, I don't see that...

Old Rick Reilly has to be on this list. I'll nominate "Two Men, Two Flips of Fate": http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1141543/index.htm and "The Big Hero of Littleton": http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1015813/index.htm

Fran - writing was a small part of what Strain did. He blogged most days, but I think that's because he really enjoyed it, not because that was an expected part of his job. He'd help on huge breaking news stories, write a column two or three times a year or help compile a breakout (say, Big 12...

Gary Smith, S.L. Price and Joe Posnanski are at the top. Wright Thompson is up there, too. I think Dave Hyde is the most underrated. I'm also a Kevin Sherrington fan.

Small hometown paper. South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Tulsa World. Indy Star. Dallas Morning News. A connection from one of those internships got me my first job. One of those places later gave me my current job.

I'm from Columbus and interned there in college. Bob Gustin (editor) is a great guy and a good boss - he helped make me the reporter I am today. Preps is key there, but they do some good college hoops, too, and cover Indy 500 and Brickyard 400.

Silver's a good guy with a bright future. Very well-rounded - Web, TV, radio, print, you name it. It's a shame.

He got dizzy after the game last night and was taken to the ER. Scary thing to see when you turn around in the press box. I don't have an update on his condition, but I do know this. When a coworker asked him for his car keys, John gave them to him. Then he said from the gurney: Send my column...

(This is Matt Baker) At the moment, neither position has been posted. The News-Leader isn't accepting outside applications. Not sure what will happen with the high school position, but the Cardinals beat is unlikely to be filled any time soon. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. And...

Bigfoot sighting. And interviewing leaders of organizations that hunt for Bigfoots (plural, because there's more than one, you know. How else could there be sightings all over the country?). Then, a year later, a wildlife expert with a passion for hunting Bigfoots (a Bigfootologist, if you...

Great story. Loved it.

And Kathy's a good one.

STL Post-Dispatch has a Twitter feed on its Cardinals page where reporters can talk with fans. Also, IndyStar tweeted/twittered the Indy 500 with lap-by-lap stuff, which looked pretty sweet.

I had just had knee surgery a week and a half before and was hobbling around with a knee immobilizer and crutches. I'm at a race track, walking down a flight of stairs and lose my balance (I still wasn't used to going down stairs yet). I yelled an expletive and fell — right into my coworkers...

I'll second "Luckiest Man" by Eig. Good guy, too. Friday Night Lights, Season on the Brink, The Blind Side and 3 Nights in August also make my list.

Indy Star used Twitter to give lap-by-lap recap during the Indy 500 - big because the race is blacked out in the area, so you can't watch on TV.

Congrats to Morrison - great guy and great reporter.
