Bad few days for sports journalism

NFL writer Chris Wesseling died a few days ago. He was only 46 years old but had suffered through cancer. I remember reading some of his stuff on NFL.com. He was good.

Now there's word that Terez Paylor, a longtime Chiefs writer who was covering the NFL in general over the last few years, died today at only 37 (haven't seen anything on cause of death)

Pair all that with Marty Schottenheimer's death being announced by a sh-thead obituary writer and all in all, the past several days have been rough ones for sports journalism.

Heard his name mentioned but wasn't familiar with him. I think he was a baseball guy.

Mike Garafolo mentioned him and some others.

"Vaughn" is Vaughn McClure, who died a while back (was only 48). If I remember correctly, I think he covered the Falcons. I don't actually know who "Sid" refers to.

Yes Pedro Gomez was a baseball reporter for ESPN and he was great at his job, smooth as silk, I'll miss him this coming season.

I loved listening to Wesseling on the Around the NFL podcast. I didn't always agree with him, but his opinions were always well thought out. He was fun to interact with on social media. 

He successfully beat cancer once, several years back and when they announced it had come back, I feared this would be the outcome. He got married a couple of years ago and they had a baby in 2020. It's really sad what he's leaving behind. 

He was a great guy.

      DJ's latest top 50

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Cutting edge analysis below https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-50-2025-nfl-draft-prospect-rankings-4-0 You gotta remember, Daniel Jeremiah talks to the scouts and GMs..... Notable highlights: #1 Abdul Carter (Edge) #2 Travis Hunter (WR/CB) #3 Ashton Jeanty (RB) #4 Mason Graham (DT) #5:  Jalon Walker (LB) #6 Tyler Warren (TE) #7  Coltson Loveland (TE) #15 Nick Emannwori (S) #22 Mykel Williams (Edge) #32 Mason Taylor (TE--3 TEs in round 1????) WR rankings (oh my!!  This is going to piss some folks off--I don't think a slot WR--Egbuka--should be in the middle of round 1, personally) #16 Matthew Golden (told ya this a month ago!!--you mocked me, some scoffed) #17  Emeka Egbuka (the sleeper we have not talked about enough!) #18  Tetairoa McMillan (according to the NFL Network Path to the Draft Crew-Ross, Brooks, Charles-the comments may have hurt his stock among GMs--I do think it might be a bit overblown, but hey, he raised the red flag--nobody else.  I am sure he will explain his meaning to satisfy GMs) #33 Luther Burden III (he has dropped quite a bit) Noteable Edges NOT in top 50, which means they could be there in the second:  Jack Sawyer, Princely. and my super sleeper pick who could be there in round 3--Josaiah Stewart, Michigan. MHS PREDICTIONS: It sure looks like #5 Jalon Walker Edge will be the pick---Mykel Williams dropped to #22. Most of the players we draft on days 1 and 2 will have a first name that starts with the letter J.

      Mock NY TIMES PICK FOR 8. ESPN first Rd1 and 2. NFL.com Ideal 2 picks

      I feel like all the guys i think they're going to take will be gone. Graham and walker plus Carter who has no chance. If that's the case I really hope someone wants to jump the saints and we can trade back. I would want Green if he didn't have the accusations

      I think with walker you have a pretty stable and decent floor.   With some of the others the floor is lower but yeah the ceiling is the roof.   We just cant risk that as a franchise at this point
