Another Broncos beat writer bails from Post
The number two beat writer covering the Denver Post is leaving – right away apparently.
Joan Niesen, who replaced Lindsay Jones (who left for USA Today) a few short months ago, is making tracks for Sports Illustrated. Neisen was doing a bang-up job for the Post and it going to suck to see her go so quickly. She didn’t stay with the paper even for a single season.
From what we’re hearing she gave notice and intended to stay through the Super Bowl but her unhappy bosses told her not to let the door hit her in the posterior on the way out.
We wish Joan the best at her new gig but we also kind of wish she had stuck around awhile.
South Stands readers may recall that we were encouraging the Post to hire Andrew Mason when Jones left. The paper would have been better off listening to us. It’s not an ideal time for a dent in its NFL coverage.
