RIP to the Improper.
10 years ago, Boston had the Globe, Herald, Dig, Phoenix, Improper and Boston Mag. Now the Phoenix and Improper are gone, the Herald is being hollowed out by a vampire PE firm and the Dig and BoMag are making due with much smaller staffs. Bad.

I've written rugby for 18 years and in that time I've seen some serious lows and been privileged enough to have written a final in which the Springboks won. But even that pales in significance to reporting on yesterday's game - at long last I feel like I belong.
