Bud Retires!

[Whitey23]

Huzzah!

This old burgh will never be the same.

 

[Frozen]

He was the whizbang poobah from the vaunted Salt City. An artist among scribes and a colossus among mortals. His retirement imbues only melancholy. We are poorer for losing his mighty pen. We'll not see his like again.

 

[orangenauburn]

The young whizbang entered his dusty pastures with a grand huzzah from the masses as they knew full well they would never be enthralled with an odious oddball entry from the harried hero named Bud

Paging Donnie Webb.

Welcome to the ranks of the retired, Bud. Working isn't all that it's cracked up to be!

His real name is Arthur.

Paging Donnie Webb.

Donnie is a beat writer, not a columnist. Really, this is Chris Carlson's time to shine.

[Scooch]

So much more time for attending the opera.

 

[Noexcuse]

JB outlasted him. One less annoyance at JB's postgame pressers.

Beat writers become columnists all the time.

 

[Orangello]

A Pucinni aria played softly in the background as the old scribner bid a fond farewell to the fabled shores of old Onondaga. James Fenimore Cooper himself would have shed a tear watching the poet of the playing fields put away his pens for the very last time. A pale orange sunset cast the western vales in a subdued light as our fair Rodolfo sashayed out of Syracuse -a-hoop over his well deserved denoumement. Adieu and bravo to our brave wizard of whiz-bangs.

The ramrod of the PS is whizbanging his way to retired poobah status, I hope he has saved enough money to buy some ducats to future sporting events.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Rest easy, Ramrod.

Bud who?

 

[Zcuse]

Hopefully he will be replaced by a person who believes the sports they cover should not be banned...

 

[CuseOnly]

Good riddance to Pud.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Beat writers become columnists all the time.

Yes but that is not what is probably going to happen.

I think that in the last two years Bud has done the best work of his career.

His pieces on the Scott Shafer/Dungey injury issue and the recent Hopkins/Boeheim situation were first rate sports commentary.

That he gets people upset from time to time is a good thing.

I am disappointed that he is leaving the scene.

Syracuse's Dan Shaugnessy. He was a necessary read for me when i was learning about the history of SU when I got to the hill in 94 and the Post Standard was required reading. I always enjoyed Bud's style. I have a different opinion of what a columnist should do and I always felt he filled that role admirably. I didn't agree with all of his opinions but always read him no matter what.
