'[Ted] Silary’s journalism was so much more than accurate game stories, gripping human interest features, and a website that was an encyclopedia when it came to chronicling high school sports in the region.' RIPTed
If it wasn’t a Friday or Saturday during high school football or the height of the high school hoops season, he would saunter up quietly, always with a half-cracked smile, and acknowledge you in his own way with that signature baritone voice.
Here’s the thing. People on Twitter across the country who didn’t know Ted couldn’t understand why #RIPTed was trending. But those who knew Ted couldn’t pass the day without dropping a line.“Teddy” knew the names and more importantly to him the neighborhoods of the athletes he covered throughout the city. He also gave many of them nicknames as well, which served to ensure he remembered each one for as long as he needed to.
Additionally, McLoone pointed out that Silary had chronicled every point in the history of the Catholic and Inter-Ac Leagues.In addition to his dedication to ensuring that Philly’s youth athletes had a voice, Silary was also committed to being an indelible piece of the machine that was the Daily News sports department since his arrival. Working inside the Inquirer’s Ivory Tower building on 400 N.
What left his hands mattered. It mattered because his words were read, treasured, collected, and disseminated by many of the athletes he covered, in addition to their parents, coaches, friends, and family. It would be hard to prove, but it most certainly can be argued — somewhere out there a Philly kid got to go to college after a recruiter learned about them through Ted’s talents.
