Don't know the guy, but I like him.
Sounds like a pretty good guy to drink a beer with and swap stories.

 

[Moderator1]

He is. Great guy. Haven't seen him since Sydney but I've always enjoyed my time around him.

 

[JoelHammond]

Love Shaw's stuff. Glad I can read him in print with his spin stuff; it's consistently very good.

 

[Drip]

Bud is definitely the best all around writer that I have seen come out of IUP. Bounced around like many good ones but has found a niche in Cleveland. He and Bill provide perhaps the best 1-2 columnist punch in Ohio. On second thought, they don't have to take a back seat to any tandem in the country.

IUP? That's great ... there is hope for PSAC grads after all.

 

[Colton]

Bud Shaw is a class act, a fine columnist and one hilarious guy.

 

[henryhenry]

apparently Albert Belle didn't think he was hilarious.

Belle didn't think many people were hilarious.

 

[editorhoo]

Never met Bud, but I frequently read his stuff and enjoy it.

Joey didn't like anyone in the media.

henryhenry: Ever spent time in a locker room with the esteemed Mr. Belle present?

He would, to quote Sgt. Toomay (played by the great Christopher Walken) of "Biloxi Blues" fame, "need three promotions to be an asshole."

 

[henryhenry]

didn't albert belle get into a beef with hannah storm? before a playoff game?

 

[Colton]

HH: Sure did... in the dugout before a game in the '95 World Series. He called her a name no man (stretching it in Belle's case, I know) should ever -- under any circumstances -- call a woman.

The beef, as was usually the case with Belle, was one-sided.
