**”Have you ever been beat up in school, Brooksie?”**
Damn…didn’t see that coming. Didn’t know he was 75
Awww. A quintessential part of NY/NJ sports writing. Been around since I was a kid.
RIP. Breaking news legend in regards to the Rangers.
He was one-of-a-kind, and I was always entertained, even when I vehemently disagreed with him. May he rest easy.
Big loss for the area sports reading and writing community especially w hockey being covered as scarcely as it has been. Thoughts to his family and all the readers
Even as an Islanders fan – I always enjoyed reading his articles and his takes. Truly a good guy – and knew/loved the sport.
Sorry to hear.
He was a gigantically biased Ranger writer. Never bothered reading the Post because he was so biased. Always put some batshit crazy idea out there for the shock value.
