Rob Rains will supposedly be sports editor and lead baseball writer. First day is supposed to be Dec, 8. I wish them luck. Tough business to try to start from scratch from.

Is BJ Rains his kid? If so, nice nepotism.

Interesting news.

Rains is a very interesting guy. I took his class in college not too long ago. His connections in the industry are impressive.

I thought there was some litigation place from the guy who produces the bi-monthly free paper with the Globe-Democrat name? I figured the online rollout would get delayed due to the pizzin match going on. Maybe I missed the outcome of that.

That site could keep stltoday in check. Like if stltoday starts charging a monthly fee I imagine many would defect there.

Surprising to hear the Globe-Democrat name again.

Also surprising to hear an old newspaper coming back when so many are falling around the country.

Competition in a one newspaper town can only be a good thing in my mind.

I heard an interivew last night where the editor said it will be a "24 hour website", meaning they will break/update news at all hours. I think that's positive.

He also said their hockey writer will be George Solack (sp?)

Back in the day GD has a pretty conservative tilt. I wonder if this will remain the same.

It won't be the Glob (as a lot of us called it) without illogical rants on its editorial page. I wonder how much it would cost to get Pat Buchanan back to his old paper for the occasional editorial in his old style ?

I heard an interview with the guy a couple of weeks ago and I came away thinking he didn't seem like he had much of a strategy. At least he was not able to explain it well. We shall see.

As I understand it, it's only going to be an online paper.
