Sports journalism - and this Earth - lost a good one. Longtime @StribSports copy editor+Sunday section guru Pete Steinert died early this morning after a battle with cancer. It was Pete who came up with 'LET'S SKOL CRAZY' after the Minneapolis Miracle. Damn fine golf partner, too

Not only did my Dad ask me to write his obituary, I was fortunate enough to get to read it to him just before he died. Through the sleepy fog that comes with life's final days, he smiled and gave it a thumbs up. m.startribune.com/obituaries…
