Not my all-time fav as some may recall
But feel bad for him nevertheless.
His byline is conspicuously absent.

There at least seems to be some sort of suspension or else he would never be absent at this time of year.

Looks like Paul Doyle and Lori Riley are doing the Courant coverage of the women in Tampa.

Yeah. I miss John's coverage. He always had a different way of describing what everyone saw.
Hope he's not history.

I miss his coverage. Glad the Courant seems to have at least three writers down there, may be even 4 if you include the sports editor.

Strange that there has been no word out of the Courant. But then sgsin, it is a confidential matter between employer and employee. But I too miss his coverage. He did a stupid thing trying to be a wiseass. He is paying the price. We eill find out soon enough if it is permanent.
Isn't there another beat writer on the market who would be happy to work the beay again? Just thought of that.

I honestly haven't missed JA's wise-guy comments at all.

Seems kinda crazy to fire someone for taking a few pix of cheerleaders. Must be more to it than that, or one would hope there is, if indeed he's been canned.

One of his tweets said something to the effect that UConn had to get into the Big 12 and if you were sitting where he was you would understand. That on top of the pics and perhaps some removed comments may have tipped the scale. |

Came home and read the Courant and John is back - he wrote the "on The Fly" column today. Obviously, not in Florida, but he is back working.
