    Hey Ben,

    Haven't gotten the chance to come around a lot lately, but I just wanted you to know you did well. Dunno what you're doing going forward, but best of luck.

    Your exit from Deadspin was expected to be in scandalous picture gallery form.

    Also: forget everything you learned here, and you'll be fine.

    Apropos of nothing, I always pictured you as a twelve-year old wearing a sideways baseball cap and an over-sized suit.

    Good luck to you, Gentle Ben.

    So long Ben, and thanks for the link to your Greg Paulus post. It was nice to re-read comments from a time before The Troubles started.

    Nice work, Ben. Next fall when you are rooting for Kyle Singler, will you please think of Drew Magary and throw a pot of hot coffee in his face?

    A few years ago, the Kansas City Star featured a sports staff of Jason Whitlock, Joe Posnanski, Bob Dutton, Jason King, Jeff Passan, Sam Mellinger, and Mechelle Voepel.


    That's not exactly a bunch of nobodies, especially for a 21st century newspaper in the middle of the country.

    I used to hold journalists in a higher regard than most other working professionals, but, then again, I also used to bite my own toenails.
