Someone (other than me) should cover New York sports media gossip and comings and goings the way David Scott does for Boston.
Holy cow. He's all over everything up in the New Evil Empire.
In this link he reports on another print sports journalists bolting for new media and a replacement as the Red Sox's sideline reporter for Tina Cervasio, who traded in the Bosox for the Red Bulls on MSG.
Shame about Boston's NHL squad. Maybe next year. At least BC won the NCAAs.

In a matter of a few years The Globe has lost:
Ron Borges
Michael Holley
Michael Smith
Jackie MacMullen
Gordon Edes
Wow. The NYT is doing their darned best to ruin what was once the go-to sports page in the country.
Borges was no loss. For the last season or so Nick Cafardo has been the national baseball columnist, making Edes useless to them. Cafardo was a football writer, so I have no idea why he was switched since their football coverage is pretty awful. New York Times never considered sports that important--when I used to read it on Sundays long ago, they sent writers out to cover Ivy League football weekly. They had a Pulitzer-prize winning columnist who nobody ever heard of--that was Dave Anderson, not Red Smith, who also was there. And the Sunday papers I usually bought had the early Saturday afternoon Sunday sports in it. Most of the Globe sportswriters spend so much time on TV you'd think they weren't print journalists and were TV personalities. The section used to be the best in the country--it stinks now.
