My editors asked me to write about John Murphy, who died suddenly in November.
So I did. In a very John way.
Not sure it's all I'll have to write about him - big influence on me, professionally - but I had to make this one fit for print.
John was rad. Miss him mucho.

Remembering longtime Inland sportswriter John Murphy

The reason sports team owners are Like This is because their teams are a hedge against riskier investments. They don't want high risk, high potential reward. That's what they have stocks and tech businesses and Bitcoin for. They're in it for the social cache of owning a team + low risk investment.

Out of bounds, incomplete, incomplete, knocked down.
They lost, 41-35, on the road. Season over.

My beat includes two mid-major D1 🏀 programs & they collided for the last time as non-conference opponents on Tuesday night.
Last year, UC Riverside won by 1. This year, CBU dominated in a rout.
Ended up with a centerpiece today that could divide city! 😬
