    I'm sure like a lot of you I've read his columns most of my life. Hope he sticks around in some form, at least on the Twitter.

    Haven't cracked a newspaper in years, but I'm glad it's still around.

    This guy is basically a Houston fixture in the newspaper. I don't really read the Chronicle or visit the site much anymore, but he's definitely someone I used to follow -- mostly for the sports talk show ratings. :D

    Enjoy retirement.

    Recently he's been one of the few actual reporters left at the Chron.

    I remember during the Root Sports Rockets/Astros channel madness, he was the one I could count on to parse through all the legal stuff and make sense of it. Really enjoyed his reporting at that time.

    Always liked his columns. Any time someone appeared or disappeared in the Houston media scene, he would always have the lowdown.
