Washington Times Ends Sports Coverage.

(ed. note - "You're not going to read anything better this morning, (if you haven't already), than the Washington Times' Mark Zuckerman saying goodbye as the transitioning newspaper makes official its decision to end their sports coverage:

"Thanks to the Times, I got to spend countless hours with Frank Robinson, cherished moments with one of the sport's true giants, who it turns out has a far bigger heart than most would have ever guessed. Thanks to the Times, I got to cover Manny Acta, one of the most genuine human beings I have ever encountered in any walk of life and one you can't help but root for to find success. Thanks to the Times, I got to be reacquainted with Jim Riggleman, 12 years after first meeting him as a wide-eyed college intern assigned to cover the Chicago Cubs for a summer."

The Times sports staff will truly be missed.

Mark Zuckerman is the type of sports writer the Post could use for the Nats… but in fact he’s a better person than that…

I heard Chico Harlan was going to the Food section and the Post was looking for his replacement?

It's really too bad that the Times shut down its sports coverage.

That was the only good or useful part of the paper!
I hope Mark Zuckerman lands somewhere else in DC so he can continue his excellent Nats’ coverage. I always enjoyed reading his columns.
