Fox Sports, Skip Bayless, Joy Taylor and Charlie Dixon hit with lawsuit by former employee
Within 90 minutes of receiving a tip about this lawsuit, I worked with my colleague, Mike McCarthy, to break news of one of the most staggering civil complaints I had ever read.

Final in-depth interview of Paul Newman
I worked with his representatives for weeks to get a one-on-one – all while covering the 2006 Indy 500. I got the green light two days before Newman and the open-wheel team he co-owned was scheduled to run in Monterrey, Mexico. I spent parts of two days with Newman and his racing team. I turned the story around that weekend for Monday’s paper. It was the last lengthy interview Newman conducted before he died in 2008.
