Bad few days for sports journalism

NFL writer Chris Wesseling died a few days ago. He was only 46 years old but had suffered through cancer. I remember reading some of his stuff on NFL.com. He was good.

Now there's word that Terez Paylor, a longtime Chiefs writer who was covering the NFL in general over the last few years, died today at only 37 (haven't seen anything on cause of death)

Pair all that with Marty Schottenheimer's death being announced by a sh-thead obituary writer and all in all, the past several days have been rough ones for sports journalism.

Heard his name mentioned but wasn't familiar with him. I think he was a baseball guy.

Mike Garafolo mentioned him and some others.

"Vaughn" is Vaughn McClure, who died a while back (was only 48). If I remember correctly, I think he covered the Falcons. I don't actually know who "Sid" refers to.

Yes Pedro Gomez was a baseball reporter for ESPN and he was great at his job, smooth as silk, I'll miss him this coming season.

I loved listening to Wesseling on the Around the NFL podcast. I didn't always agree with him, but his opinions were always well thought out. He was fun to interact with on social media. 

He successfully beat cancer once, several years back and when they announced it had come back, I feared this would be the outcome. He got married a couple of years ago and they had a baby in 2020. It's really sad what he's leaving behind. 

He was a great guy.

      lot of newer huddlers would potentially be shocked to learn that the team’s current GM used to be a poster here until a certain egomaniac ran him off

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      gonna be interesting to see if tyler shough was a flash or real.  in 9 games I admit he looked good, but I mean theres so many times when a qb came in lit it up for a bit and when the nfl figured them out they were busts.  Sam Howell just the other year, first 9 games of 2023 (same number Shough started) 2500 yards passing, 14 tds, 9 INTS (1 game had 4 though so honestly closer to 14-5), and now basically bouncing around as a backup or practice squadder.  Or Kyle Allen, or Matt Flynn.  These things happen, I just think a lot of people are way to high on him.
