The Disrespected
Covering pro sports in flyover country. Welcome to Columbus. ©2025.
I left the newspaper business after 43 years to hang out my own shingle. Before making the leap, I did a lot of research. I feel fortunate — and I somehow look smart — to have landed on Ghost. Its ease of use have unburdened me to grow with my subscribers. Love the clean look.
