He's hanging up his quill.

And Chip Towers (who has covered Georgia for what seems like eons) is also hitting the retirement portal.
When Towers worked in Athens, he was beating the AJC guy on the beat so bad they had to move him to the Falcons, where there was no competition. Which is why Steve Wyche is on the NFL Network today.

Georgia Bulldogs playing in another Sugar Bowl is a great way to go out

Mainly, I plan to kick back with my wife and enjoy some time together. We’ll visit the French Quarter and maybe stroll through Jackson Square.

Bradley’s last Buzz: After 40-plus years, this grateful guy bids you goodbye

I’m a professional. I know how this is done. Game column on deadline when the local team wins the World Series? Did two of those. Game column on deadline when the local team blows a 25-point Super Bowl lead? Did one of those. Predictions? I’ve offered a zillion, two or three of which panned out...

Apparently, Ken Suguira is taking Bark's job. I know a lot of Tech fans don't think much of Ken, but I met him several times when he was exclusively covering Tech, and I found him to be a really good guy who loved his job, and wanted to do the best he could. He grew a lot while covering Tech, and I not only like him as a person, I respected him as a reporter. I thought he was fair, and although he didn't have the special kind of love for Tech that we all had, he also didn't have any particular fondness for the mutts. I definitely think he will offer a level of reporting and coverage far above that of Bark Madley.
 
I never really thought Bark had it in for us. Dude was a KY grad and cared way more about basketball.

I don't think he was any more critical of Tech that any of us have been over the last few decades even if we kept it to ourselves.

As far as Ken goes, I hope he's up for that job - you gotta have some temerity to write something that will completely enrage the dwag political machine and fan horde or, heaven forbid, embarrass Georgia Tech. I don't know him but he seems a little shy for role like that. I look forward to being completely wrong about that if he steps up and writes like he's not afraid.
 
I can’t remember what it was about but I canceled my AJC subscription after reading a Mark Bradley article and never returned.
