beloved sports journalist Steve Milton is to be inducted into Canadian Football Hall of Fame during Grey Cup week.
Congrats Steve. :thup:
from Drew:
[b]Selected by the Football Reporters of Canada for induction into the media section of the Hamilton-based hall, Milton's been covering the CFL for more than three decades and offering his unique blend of opinion, analysis and wit as a Spectator columnist for more than 15 years – sometimes under less than ideal circumstances.
“I'm the only guy in this league that's covered a one-win team and a two-win team, not to mention a bunch of three win teams,? Milton said. “Fans in this town take it personally and generally when it gets to three wins or below, somebody in the stands takes a swing at me.?
“This means everything to me, especially because it's selected by your peers,? Milton said. “These are people that know the game, its history and its place within Canadian culture. To join them is really special, especially on the 100th anniversary of the Grey Cup.?[/b]
Steve Milton deserves it.....and more. He has great insight into the game and the Tiger-Cats. And he has a great writing style. I'm surprised he has not been hired away by the Globe and Mail or the National Post.
Hamilton is lucky to have him. :thup: :thup: :thup:
Steve Milton often makes good points in his columns, and his columns are often written quite well. I have enjoyed reading what he has written for quite some time.
Recognition well earned. In the Hall, Milton will join other well recognized names, associated with the Tiger-Cats, like Marshall, Allen, Hanley, Bratina, and some of the all-time great names in Canadian sports journalism .... http://www.cfhof.ca/page/frc
