Post subject:	Mike Downey leaves Chicago Tribune
Mike Downey, who returned home to Chicago in 2003 as a Tribune sports columnist, is leaving the paper. "The Tribune was generous enough to make me one of the best-paid sportswriters in the history of this business, so I certainly can't fault the paper for doing this now that times are hard," Downey said Thursday. Tribune Associate Managing Editor for Sports Dan McGrath informed his staff "with profound sadness" in a note hailing Downey, who was a must-read at the Chicago Daily News and Sun-Times before becoming a columnist for the Detroit Free Press and Los Angeles Times, as a "wise, wry, sane voice of reason."

He was here 5 years, huh? That means MAYBE an average of one column a year that I thought was really interesting or clever or thought-provoking. He was one of the "best-paid columnists in the history of the business"? All I can say is, "Wow!"
