Don McKee has been covering sports since 1966. He joined The Inquirer as the South Jersey columnist in 1974 and has covered high schools from Atlantic City to Cincinnati; Penn State, Pitt and West Virginia football; and the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers over the years. For the last 13 years he has hosted a Sunday talk show on Sports Radio 610 WIP. He tries to live by the sage words of Lord Northcliffe, the man who created the world's first sports page in the late 19th century, and who coined the famous phrase: "News is something that somebody somewhere wants to hide. Everything else is public relations."

After Chicago divorce, Guillen lands in Miami - 09/29/2011
By Don McKee, Inquirer Columnist
Ozzie Guillen has been a Touch 'Em All favorite ever since he started tweeting whatever was on his mind, the heck with filters. Two days after being released by the Chicago White Sox, the irrepressible skipper was hired to manage the NL's most unpredictable team, the Florida Marlins.

By Don McKee, Inquirer Columnist
Wow, the Yankees' Russell Martin must really not want to run the risk of facing Tampa Bay or Los Angeles in the playoffs. If not, why would he give Boston (11-4 against New York this season) great bulletin-board fodder such as this to light a fire under the fading Red Sox, up 21/2 games on the Rays and Angels in the AL wild-card chase?
