Jan. 7 was my last day at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Covering the city and its emergence as a pro sports town was a dream come true. I leave with eternal gratitude for every single person who shared with me their stories. Thanks to the readers who joined me on the journey.
@BySamGordon You have done a great job here Sam, wish you the best for the future
Sam, I’ve been a lucky guy who has watched your rapid progress as a sportswriter and journalist up close — as a college professor of yours at the University of Minnesota to coaxing you to join the Review-Journal. You’re a fine writer who will only get better. SF Chron readers are in for a treat. Don’t be a stranger, kid.
@BySamGordon Sam. I’m super bummed. You are great and keep us posted on your next steps
@BySamGordon Ur Raiders work was second to NONE. As a lifelong Raiders fan following team from LA, backnto Oak the LV...the small sample of ur work was the absolute BEST. Honest, cutting and no bs.👌☠️
@BySamGordon Sad to see you go, I am sure you will rock whatever comes next!
@BySamGordon Wishing you well Sam and looking forward to continuing to work with you at your next stop!
@BySamGordon You coming home? Where abouts in the twin cities are you from?
