SIMMONS: The death of the Canadian sports columnist, a relic of an era long gone

Neil Simons: Growing up in Toronto , a newspaper was just part of our daily existence, like eating breakfast, like ball hockey on the driveway, like Flintstones at lunch time every single day .

He devoured Milt Dunnell , Jim Proudfoot and Wayne Parrish , Trent Frayne , Scott Young , Dick Beddoes , Allen Abel , Jim Coleman , George Gross , Jim Taylor and Cam Cole .

Simons says journalism is a labour of love, not a pay-by-the-hour job, it's a job that requires passion and curiosity.

There are no daily columnists in Vancouver , Calgary or Edmonton writing sports anymore.

Only Winnipeg seems to be staying to the old model.

Today , we have Cathal Kelly at the Globe and Dave Feschuk at the Star and, as good as they be, they don’t seem like lifetime legends to me.
