clyons Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Appears to be a downsizing thing. http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/towert...downey-dep.html I will miss him. I thought his "lists" were pretty funny, and he seemed pretty Sox-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyWhiteSox Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Seems like the kind of guy that cracks a lot of lame jokes that only he himself laughs at... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I don't think he really added anything with his columns and didn't find him too interesting. I'm sure they could get better columnists to write than Downey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 05:01 PM) I don't think he really added anything with his columns and didn't find him too interesting. I'm sure they could get better columnists to write than Downey. I dont think their plan was to get a better columnist than Downey,they are just cutting payroll and turning their newspaper into a piece of s*** filled with pictures and little notes that explain the pictures.Newspapers dont seem to think it is important to have sports columnist's write up pieces that are well written and longer than a paragraph length in the future of print.

NorthSideSox72 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I still think Isaacson is the best sports writer in town. I hope she sticks around, and I'd like to see her stuff more often than we currently do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
