Special Thanks To a Special Reporter

Rather than include a cheers to Bob Dolgan I wanted to make a special post. For those that are unaware the website URL of Back Seat Drivers is the dawggs in honor of the Cleveland Browns legendary 1980s secondary of Hanford "The Top Dawg" Dixon and Frank "Mighty" Minnifield (the dimunitive yet powerful Mighty Minni being a personal inspiration). However the part of the story that many may not be aware of was that Cleveland Plain Dealer's Bob Dolgan was the one that noticed the barking antics of the duo and wrote about it which evantually led to the Dawg Pound. Dolgan, is retiring today, after 45 years as a sports writer. Reading through his goodbye piece I think it captures the old school ideal of a reporter racing around to local haunts to get a scoop, having the thrill of a good interview and following it with late night drinking, smoking and gambling.
Anyway check out his goodbye piece here

Thanks Bob for all your great work and for helping create the term "The Dawgs"
