Two Chicago Media Legends Fade

Sun-Times movie critic Roger Ebert has pulled out of the TV show that was once “Siskel and Ebert.” I watched “Siskel and Ebert” routinely growing up and it’s probably one of the reasons I studied broadcasting at Northwestern.

The good news: Roger and Gene Siskel’s widow own the rights to “two thumbs up.” Ebert says they’re “discussing possibilities, and plan to continue the show’s tradition.”

And one of my heroes — former Tribune baseball columnist Jerome Holtzman, who invented the ‘save’, died over the weekend.

I grew up reading Holtzman’s columns in the Trib before school, and had the pleasure of interviewing him two years ago for a wacky Forbes.com story about sports stadiums.

Someone Please Do This

jakehurwitz:

I think it’d be really funny to dress in tattered dirty clothes and then out of a forest to a couple of people and demand, “What year is this!?”

When they answer, “2008.” You look away and mumble “My God.” Then run back into the woods.

Sign me up.
