News Corp veteran journalist Phil 'Buzz' Rothfield has decided to end his sports journalism career. While Rothfield spent the majority of his time covering rugby league, he also covered other sports including the 2000 Olympic Games where he was the editor of that round for its duration. Rothfield, in the article announcing his retirement, said he has had the greatest job in the world. “Half a century covering rugby league, and the madness that comes with it, is long enough for anyone,” he said. “It's been the greatest job in the world and there are so many people I'll make time to thank personally over the next few months - colleagues and contacts alike.
