Mike Downey departs Chicago Tribune
Mike Downey, who returned home to Chicago in 2003 as a Tribune sports columnist, is leaving the paper.
"The Tribune was generous enough to make me one of the best-paid sportswriters in the history of this business, so I certainly can't fault the paper for doing this now that times are hard," Downey said Thursday.
Tribune Associate Managing Editor for Sports Dan McGrath informed his staff "with profound sadness" in a note hailing Downey, who was a must-read at the Chicago Daily News and Sun-Times before becoming a columnist for the Detroit Free Press and Los Angeles Times, as a "wise, wry, sane voice of reason."
Da comments are fun, such as: "There isn't a single writer for the Trib that makes it worth the resources it takes to recycle the paper it's written on." Did Corms write dis?

He taught us what dead air looks like in print. Perhaps we could nod off for a moment in tribute.

I didn't write that, but could have.
