The Philadelphia Inquirer's top investigative reporter, Nancy Phillips, has written a story containing what we're told are allegations of child molestation against sportswriter Bill Conlin, a longtime columnist at the rival Daily News. Conlin resigned just moments ago, according to a source at the Daily News.
Conlin, who turns 78 this May, won the Ford C. Frick J.G. Taylor Spink Award last May. The story supposedly will drop soon (the newspapers are published under a joint-operating agreement by the same company, sharing some resources and a website but otherwise competing for a number of the same readers). Conlin has hired an attorney to defend himself against the piece. We'll have more details on this. For now, we can tell you that Conlin is at his condo in Largo, Fla.
if true WOW!
Let's see if they are all over this like they have been for the Penn State scandal now that one of their own is involved ( allegedly )
I said it a couple of weeks ago...
I would NOT be surprised if there is a homosexual pedophile ring involving many levels of the sports world there and LOCAL GOVERNMENT!
There is even a missing DA who tried to investigate this. You don’t have a DA go missing without anyone looking for him, or seeing what he was investigating - unless there is a major coverup going on.
Maybe a local NAMBLA chapter where like-minded individuals found themselves a home?
Ch 10 Phil. is saying he “retired” rather than resigned
>>A spokesperson for the Daily News confirmed to NBC10 that Conlin retired today (and did not resign), saying more details would be released later.
CBS Philly story says it involves young girls from years ago
>>RT @dhm: KYW 1060 just reported Inquirer story about the Conlin allegations involve molestation of girls 40 years ago.

Here’s the story from CBS Philly (I tried them a few minutes ago but I guess this went up 5 min ago)
>>PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Baseball Hall of Fame sports columnist Bill Conlin of the Philadelphia Daily News retired abruptly today after learning that he’s been accused of molesting underage girls decades ago.
A story being published in the Philadelphia Inquirer (sister publication of the Daily News) says that Conlin is being accused by more than one alleged victim, and reports that the accusations are “documented,” although it was not immediately clear what that meant.
>>George Bochetto, Conlin’s attorney, denounced the accusations today. “Mr. Conlin is obviously floored by the allegations, which supposedly happened 40 years ago. He has engaged me to do everything possible to bring the true facts forward and to vindicate his name,” Bochetto said.
The Daily News said a statement would be forthcoming.
Conlin has worked for the Daily News since 1965, after five years with the Evening Bulletin. According to his Daily News biography he has covered 37 World Series, six Olympics, five Wimbeldons, and more. He was named to the journalism wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer.
These degenerates are involved across America in every walk of life. There is no difference between pedophiles and Homosexuals. Maye America needs Sharia Law to get rid of this Pandemic.
Sarcasm or troll?
You REALLY don't mean that.
That was the only way that fat f-— was going to get any. Figures. Nasty piece of work he is.
That means that the 'alleged' victim(s) would have to be at least 39 years old now. Must be open season now on sex-abuse allegations.
1. It was fourty years ago.
2. It wasn’t “rape-rape.”
3. At least he didn’t gamble on baseball.
Just trying to help his attorney out.
I seem to remember him being pretty liberal with his political views and as a member of the writer’s guild (union). Anyone want to guess his political affiliation?
The biggest victimizers on the planet of little girls and boys are Sharia-practicing muslims.
Ever heard of Mohammed’s fave, little Aisha, married at age 6 and consumated at age 9?
Ever hear about the “dancing boys” in muslim culture?
Did he have something to do with the Penn State/Second Mile pedo ring??
How big is this going to get?
The VAST majority of print and TV media types are left wing liberal so you may be correct in your assumption
Maybe someday we can break the pedo ring in Hollywood. Imagine those headlines as producers, directors and actors are arrested.
