That was a fascinating Q&A.
I assume the Times-Union is a smaller paper, so is he leaving just because he wants to be a columnist or is because of how stressfull the job was in New York?

Hmmm...a columnist in Fla. for a 28-year-old, or beat writer in NY. With all due respect for the position of Yankee beat writer, I'd take the Florida columnist job any day of the week.

But that's just me.

I NEVER want to stay at the South Beach Mariotti.

It's really called that? I thought that was some kind of joke, making fun of Jay Mariotti for some reason.

And, no, I've quite obviously never been to Miami.

Did I read that right? He wasn't a baseball fan but he wrote about baseball?

In unrelated news, I am now angling for a job covering the stock market.

In unrelated news, I am now angling for a job writing about tantric sex.

Clever:

I took it as a typo.

And a damned funny one.

Dammit. I thought there was a funny story there.

The only problem staying at the Marriotti is that you can't get to the locker room from there.

So Jay would love it there then.

thanks

Wow.. great move for a great kid.

Columnist in Jax or NYY beat for NYDN? No brainer ...way less stress, more freedom, better chance to move up to columnist at a bigger paper.

And to think, I know a former sports editor who wouldn't hire him to cover HS sports 5 years ago :o

 

[Double J]

Is that part of the reason why he/she is now a former sports editor?

 

[Gold]

The part I got a kick out of was the Post ragging the News about the story saying Joe Torre would be fired. As opposed to, say, a Post editorial congratulating the Boston Red Sox for winning the 2003 American League pennant.

 

[suburbanite]

He's an OK writer, nothing more. Don't see this as a tremendous move for the T-U, but he had to jump at it.

One thing's for sure. After time spent on the Yanks beat, Urban Meyer's not going to seem like such a much.

Borden makes it officialy on his Yankees blog:

So does this mean we now have to drink Hiland at the Daily News?
