From St. Peter's Gate, It's the Sportswriters on TV

[Brownie]

With Bill Gleason of the South Bend Tribune and the Southtown Economist, Joe Mooshil of the Associated Press, Bill Jauss of the Chicago Tribune, Rick Telander of Sports Illustrated, and me, your host and moderator, Ben Bentley.

This show was taped on Monday, so if you're watching later in the week, that's why we're making less sense than usual. But most of all, thanks for watching.

Telander's dead, too.  Well, his body is moving, but his writing talent is long gone.

That was the joke, Chuck.

Loved that show, and Jauss was one of the earliest journalists to hop on the NU bandwagon in 1995.

  I do wonder whatever happen to the erstwhile high-school scribe that wrote the glowing report of Jaussy's visit to his high school.  Oh well, lost to the sands of time I guess.

Looked like you were riffing the standard opening.  I didn't bother with the link until now.

Of course he relished the NU beat, being an alum and a freshman on the last Northwestern team before 1995 to play in a Rose Bowl. Anyway, then the Trib decided they needed someone else on the beat, and Jauss got switched over to be the Bears main beat writer in 1996. The Wanny-era Bears.

He was a hack.
