Pat Forde to SI

[Jake from State Farm]

Curious move considering all the struggles SI has had

Pat Forde is leaving Yahoo Sports to join Sports Illustrated

 

[Jake from State Farm]

I thought I put this in the journalism topics only section
If the mods feel it should be moved, please do so

 

[tapintoamerica]

Makes me wonder about Yahoo.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

Lateral move, at best.

 

[MileHigh]

It's good here and agree, what's this say about Yahoo?

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

I was about to make a smart “this is a post from 1987” remark but dug a little and realized the great Pat Forde has never written for SI before.

This is what I think. I'm not sure it says anything about Yahoo. Whatever problems there are at Sports Illustrated, it is still a place where most any sports writer would like to be, or go.

Pat Forde
Mizzou '87

That's how he used to sign his emails. No idea if he still does, or if that's only with other Mizzou graduates.

Surprised he didn't go with Maneater '85

Shame we can't ask Mizzougrad94

Maybe Les Carpenter.

Maybe Les Carpenter.

I've seen them both in my kitchen. Simultaneously.

Maybe Les Carpenter.

NO OUTING

Saw Les get asked if he'd ever had "the ****s."

Norm Stewart was a real peach.

Who is left at Yahoo?

Woj, Passan, and now Forde have all left in the last couple years.

Dan Wetzel is still there. Charles Robinson. Any other A-listers?

 

[swingline]

I always found that Yahoo! site user unfriendly as hell.

Robert Klemko going from SI to the Washington Post. The new folks have really butchered MMQB.

 

[OscarMadison]

I've loved most of the writing at Yahoo Sports. The site design has always been a study in tortured code.

When was the last time someone went from SI to the Post? Post to SI would’ve been a more path way back when.
