I'm curious if there are any articles in there from John Mooney?

Mooney was the best. There will never be anyone as good as he was again in this market. Heaven's gain was Salt Lake's loss.

Pond Scum
You should take a look at "Pond Scum and Vultures", by Gene Wojciechowski. Its out of print but available easily online from used bookstore (or maybe a very well stocked library, of course). Hilarious book about sportswriters' lives.
