Cold shoulder to Cold Pizza

[Tracy Ringolsby]

Memo sent to Denver Post stafff

Colleagues:

After taking his act to Broadway for a little over two years, Woody Paige is returning home and to our sports pages as a columnist. As many of you know, Woody went to ESPN where he became a bit of a phenomenon on Around The Horn and Cold Pizza. But Woody has repeatedly expressed a desire to return to his "first love" of writing. That yearning only grew and we began discussing his possible return about two months ago. I am happy to report Woody will rejoin The Post on Dec. 1. He also will retain a relationship with ESPN as a regular on Around The Horn, which will be filmed in the ESPN studio we built near the design department. Please join me in welcoming Woody back.

Thanks,

Greg Moore

Wasn't this absolutely, positively, unequivocably not happening?

Like we ever should have doubted the Moddy pipeline.

Woody talked to a Denver blog last month that he wasn't coming back. And talked with the same blogger today.

I feel bad for Spears. I feel bad for Jim Armstrong, who is going to see his $500 an appearance fee on ATH dry up considerably, but this is a great move for Woody and the Post. He's an icon in Denver and so few cities have a columnist like that these days.

They get paid $1,000 an hour?

Good for Woody and the Post. When do the Broncos play the Jagwads next?

He also will retain a relationship with ESPN as a regular on Around The Horn, which will be filmed in the ESPN studio we built near the design department.

Somebody probably took a pay cut so this could be done.

Paige is a sellout asclown. ATH sucks. They both are perfect for ESPN.
