@FrederickSports Also, my departure won't diminish the quality of the sports section at all, considering the great work that Josh, John, Greg and Adam provide for you. They're all very talented individuals, but they're also great people I can call dear friends. You are in good hands.

[Joe Ferraro @joeferrarofnp]

@FrederickSports Thank you all for your kind words. I've decided to take on a new challenge here at the FNP, but I will truly miss interacting with all of the wonderful people in this county's fantastic sports community. I'd like to still get out and do some writing every now and then. We'll see.
