From a story by Tommy Tomlinson headlined “A few words on a great editor and great man”:

(Today is the third anniversary of the death of Jay Lovinger, my former editor at ESPN the Magazine. I wrote this piece for my old blog right after he died. I still miss him every time I sit down to write—and lots of other times, too.)

This piece won’t be as good as it would have been if Jay Lovinger were around to edit it.
