Bill Conlin died. He may have been a child molester.

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 Award last May. The story supposedly will drop soon (the newspapers publish under a joint-operating agreement, sharing some resources and a website but otherwise competing for 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.

Jesus Christ. Joe probably should have done more there too.

Sandusky is the one that doesn't fit the mold because he doesn't exactly look like a kidbanger. Bernie Fine and Conlin, yeah.

Conlin has nice houses though.

Fucking awful. Hope it isn't true... But I imagine there is pretty strong evidence if a co worker is going to write a story on it.

I'm not letting my kids hang out with any old white dudes, ever.
