Every now and then, Mark would write a column that I had to celebrate with a special tribute: A column so good I had to smack him! And he would let me every time. Wishing you all the best, my friend @TUmarkwoods

After 43 years at newspapers — 25 at the Florida Times-Union — I’m taking a buyout. I’m grateful for everyone who has been on this ride: the colleagues in newsrooms and press boxes, the people in thousands of stories, and anyone who read one of them. jacksonville.com/story/news/…

Today’s media environment in a nutshell: The original poster — if it’s even a real person — didn’t know I haven’t worked at ESPN since 2018. I clearly responded with sarcasm. This tweet gets millions of views, and the comments are completely overrun with bots. And now there are several AI-generated/aggregated websites “reporting” that I resigned from ESPN on Twitter yesterday. This is why telling people to Google information doesn’t work.

I really hope ESPN lays me off. It’ll be tough but I’ll manage. In fact, let me just submit my resignation to make it easier on them. No need to draw this out.
