Tributes are piling in after the news of the passing of Bill Jauss at the age of 81.
The popular local sportswriter began his career writing at the Chicago Daily News. He later moved on to the Chicago Today until that afternoon paper was absorbed by the Tribune in 1974, and Mr. Jauss continued to write for the Tribune until he retired in 2005.
Chicagoans will best remember Mr. Jauss as one of the original panelists of The Sports Writers on TV. The show debuted in 1985 with Jauss, Bill Gleason, Rick Telander and moderator Ben Bentley, then moved to Sportschannel and ran until 2000, when Fox Sports Network didn't pick it up.
