CR — Technically, he had contracts with each paper individually, but yes, the gist of what you’re saying is right. He served all three of our dailies.

Aaron, get a DVR, the only way to watch just about anything.

This or that

Nascar I’d say if you’ve never been you have to see it in person, and it’s fun once or twice a year. Other than that TV is great because you still have the rest of the day. Unfortunately I choose not to pay for TV on cable or satelite so my Nascar viewing options are limited to the first half of the season when they are broadcast on Fox.

Smoke over JG

I prefer seeing position players pitching, well with the exception of Jose Canseco back in the day.

VT at 28 to 1 odds sounds about right, a definate step behind the elite programs.

Dustin Long never actually worked for the RT, did he? He was employed by your parent company, and several papers ran his column. He was really good, and the NASCAR coverage has suffered since his dismissal.

David -- Dustin doesn't work for us any more. He still covers NASCAR for SI and other publications; he actually covered the golf tourney for the New York Times this week. If you're on Twitter, you can follow him here.

What happened to Justin Long, who used to cover the NASCAR beat and had several weekly articles in the RT during racing season?
