    Let me just say that it's been hard for me all these years to keep it silent. I actually wanted to contact the Daily News or someone but I was told, as is correct, that I was not a victim and that my second hand knowledge is not enough to take action. I know a lot of the victims. I was in his daughters wedding. His daughter broke off all contact with him many years ago after going to counseling and being told to confront both her father and her mother.

    The mother chose not to believe her.

    As much as I loved Irma, she let her family and many families down by choosing to ignore what was right in front of her. The last time I saw him was at her funeral.

    I never liked the man one bit. He was a great writer, but as a person, he is arrogant, dirty and obnoxious and I have no sympathy for his fall from grace. It is WAY overdue.

    I don't even know how to respond to this so I will just say, wow, again. Sounds like it's very good news that it is finally coming out

    I just got a call from one of my girlfriends, the Daily News called her house. She has old pictures of all of us on her Facebook, I assume that's how they found her.

    I'm so glad I very rarely post on facebook, but my parents are still in the area, I hope they don't bother them.

    Facebook is so creepy.

    This must have been a really tough thing to live with all these years. I'm glad you can at least feel some release and relief now.

    Just listened to the Phillips interview. Sounds like this all began to come about at her funeral.

    I am sorry that you knew people who were his victims. As someone who writes baseball on the side, I don't think I've ever interacted with him in any way, other than being in the same press box when the Phillies have played the Mets and Yankees but even that, especially knowing what we've read in the story, is creepy for me, obviously not as creepy as being a victim, but creepy nonetheless for me.

    what an ass hole. he never denies his actions, then proceeds to pass blame because the actions happened 40 years ago...as if that justifies anything.

    I hope he rots in hell

    jeez...it wouldn't shock me if he commits suicide. i heard the deadspin guy on the radio today and he was saying how he's all alone and depressed down there with his wife not around anymore. what a creep.


    question---does he smell as bad as he appears? whenever i see bill conlin i imagine a certain stench of horrendous BO, bad breath, and stale cigarettes.

    No he doesn't smell, but he always looked dirty to me. Just a creepy guy.

    He is all alone too, now that Irma is gone. I almost feel a little sorry for the man.

    But then I think about all the damage he's done.

    More of my friends have got calls from the Daily News. I'm glad I no longer have a land line, they haven't tracked me down yet. I wouldn't say anything anyway, I don't have first hand knowledge of it, so it's really not relevant what I or anyone other than the victims have to say.

    Any other circumstances I'd feel sorry for a widower forced out of a job he's done for years, but not for something like this. The lede to the latest one is even more creepy describing:

    Rumor circulating on twitter that David Wright has been traded to Phils.

    That would be a great xmas present if it's true

    If amaro pulls off a trade for wright where brown is the centerpiece then I will take back all of the negative things I have said about him. Well, except for the stupidity that is the ryan howard contract.

    This rumor is probably BS...got me excited for a second though
