Episode Details

After 36 years on the beat, a legendary Minnesota sportswriter is retiring — from the Star Tribune’s front lines, where he covered everything from Vikings games to baseball, starting with a single light jacket in a Minnesota winter. His journey began in Texas, climbing from the agate page to the Cowboys beat before landing in Minneapolis, where he became a pillar of local sports journalism. He credits mentors, editors, and athletes for shaping his career, and while he treasures the thrill of late-night deadlines and major events, he’s most proud of his colleagues’ groundbreaking social journalism. His exit is personal — driven by family and his wife’s career — but he ends with a passionate plea: keep supporting independent newsrooms like the Star Tribune, because truth matters more than ever.
