Sports Columnist McDonough Dies Unexpectedly
The sports-world has lost a popular and well-known Boston Globe columnist. Will McDonough passed away at his Hingham, Mass., home late Thursday night while watching ESPN's "Sports Center."
NewsCenter 5's Ed Harding said that McDonough retired two years ago from the Globe after writing for the paper for more than 40 years. But the 67-year-old may be best-known for his coverage of the National Football League...
...Frequently, he stirred the pot of controversy -- angering the best known and highest paid athletes in Boston.
He called Roger Clemens the Texas Con Man in 1997. "I don't know what is up with your boy McDonough. He is angry that guy," Clemens said after the comment.
In 1979, after being shoved by New England Patriots defensive back Raymond Clayborn, McDonough threw a punch at him. "Any guy pushes me to the point that something is going to happen, then it's just unfortunate for him that he did," McDonough said after the incident. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=383&e=1&cid=383&u=/ibsys/20030110/lo_WCVB/1449606
This sucks. Will was damn good.
