Talk about sign of the times. Sad, sad, sad.
Though I have to say, and I know I’m in the minority on this one, Spears seemed like only a minor upgrade from Shira Springer. And I miss cranky old Peter May.

mark is ok and a sweet guy- knows his bball andi hope the globe is not a sinking ship but a wounded one. he was getting his pay docked at the globe and he’s young- good move.

good for him, bad for the Globe

I am not shocked by this in the least

I know the Globe is flailing and all, and its days may may well be numbered, but I can’t shake the feeling that a move from there to Yahoo is like a step backwards, career-wise.
