kori should apply to the express news
From thebiglead.com
"The mass exodus from newspapers to the internet continues. The Big Lead has learned that two more sports writers have lost interest in being ink-stained wretches and bolted for the riches of the web: Jason King, an APSE-winning journalist from the KC Star, and Johnny Ludden from the San Antonio Express-News have both been hired by Yahoo Sports. King will cover colleges; Ludden the NBA. The third hire is not official yet, but could be by the end of today: Steve Politi of the Newark Star-Ledger is set to join the website as a columnist."
kori should apply to the express news
Interesting.
sad unless kori gets it
he had good articles
ludden also got alot of info from spurs
pop is cia it will take awhile for pop to trust the new writer
Expect his E-N replacement to be downgrade. Johnny was pretty damn good for a small market.
When do we expect the Express News to announce it?
I think Johnny Blaze works for the Express News as well.
Man, that's horrible news. Ludden was as plugged into the Spurs as any journalist could be. Any of his innuendos were 100% accurate.
Even though Ludden had gotten lazy over the last couple years, he was still damn good. However, I had heard through the grapevine that he was bored with his job.
maybe ducks should apply.............
Johnny Ludden was probably the best beat writer in the league. This sucks.
Aww.. he was the one sportswriter who liked Rasho.
Bring Ken Rodriguez back!
Do NOT upgrade Harvey!
Thanks for posting this news, ducks.
That's a real shame for Spurs fans. I hope Johnny likes his new gig but this is a big loss for San Antonio and Yahoo's gain.
Great, now we'll know even less about the Spurs.
Ludden was very good but some of his success came from staying wihtin the bounds of what the Spurs' FO wanted said and therefore having access to information Pop would normally not provide to others. I wonder how he'll position himself in his new job.
This would appear to be a wonderful step for Johnny Ludden's career, so that's a very good thing for him.
Newspapers may be dying a slow and painful death.
Kori would be a perfect replacement!
ole ole ole oleeeee... Koriiiii Koriii!!!
Thanks, but I have no interest at all.
I tried a thread on this a few months ago, but it never got going.
Opinion still stands, and Ludden leaving only makes me smile more about being right.
Great for him, since he's clearly seen the direction things are going. Now if only the rest of us would catch up....
If it's not too personal, may I ask why?
You're a fantastic writer, I would think it could be a great opportunity for you.
My assumption is that your work now is pretty much under your control and that maybe the Express News would be too demanding on your time?
Just curious...
Too much travel.If it's not too personal, may I ask why?

I would likely make less money than I do now.
Good reasons!
Their loss.
A good beat writer, but it's not like Ludden ever really strayed that far from the company line. Of course, a perpetually antagonistic pen can be less of a joy to read (KO'K). It will be nice if the Express can find a solid replacement who is sufficiently skeptical.
