Greg Couch Joins Fanhouse: As Old Media Dies, More Sports Columnists Head Online

Sports columnist Greg Couch is leaving the Chicago Sun-Times after a dozen years to cover golf, tennis and college football and basketball for AOL’s FanHouse.com site.

AOL Sports earlier signed former Sun-Times sports columnist Jay Mariotti, who resigned last summer after returning from the Beijing Olympics with complaints about the paper’s Internet efforts. Couch was the other half of the Sun-Times contingent in China to cover the Games.
