Brenden is no special loss and I'll buy Tully a bus ticket out of town whenever he is ready to go.

Wow, DI, I so wish I could have heard that.

I remember when I wrote an opinion column for my high school newspaper, I told my Dad that I wanted to write like Mike Royko.

When I heard Tully and O'Shaughnessy on WIBC the other day (Brenden's final day with the Star), it was clear to me that there's an oppressive force bearing down on Star reports and making them hold their tongues.
