Most of his bylines were simply "Roundy." His column, "Roundy Says," was the newspaper's most popular column.[1] While Roundy was running a pool hall on Madison's State Street, he earned a reputation for his exceptional knack to predict the outcomes of college football games.[2] A short time after a writer for The Daily Cardinal began quoting Roundy's sports predictions and witticisms uttered in the pool hall, The Capital Times offered Roundy a writing job. In 1924, he switched employers to the Wisconsin State Journal. Understanding that Roundy would be a major boon for the newspaper, the editors chose to announce his hiring with the entire front page of its second section.[2][3] He remained with the Wisconsin State Journal until his retirement at the end of the 1970 college football season. Roundy often wrote in a stream-of-consciousness style, frequently at the expense of proper grammar.[4] His tone is considered to be very relatable because of his background lacking in a traditional education in journalism.[5] An example of this is "A lot of times slot machines spit and you get some money but the parking meters just say so long sucker."[2] Occasionally he wrote other humorous articles outside of sports. Roundy's charity, the Empty Stocking Club, has raised money for needy children and those with disabilities. A remarkably breviloquent, spoof interview between Roundy and theoretical physicist Paul Dirac has circulated with the date "31 April," but no actual newspaper was issued on that fake date, and the interview is not attributable to Roundy.[6] Notes1. ^{{cite news | last = Moe | first = Doug | coauthors = | title = Paying tribute to legendary Roundy Coughlin | newspaper = The Wisconsin State Journal | location = Madison | pages = | language = | publisher = | date = December 9, 2011 | url = http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/doug_moe/doug-moe-paying-tribute-to-legendary-roundy-coughlin/article_fd85e07c-2260-11e1-b3a8-0019bb2963f4.html | accessdate = }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news | last = Moe | first = Doug | coauthors = | title = Remembering the legendary Roundy Coughlin, all for a good cause | newspaper = The Wisconsin State Journal | location = Madison | pages = | language = | publisher = | date = December 19, 2010 | url = http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/doug_moe/article_fca83b40-0b0b-11e0-a1fe-001cc4c002e0.html | accessdate = }} 3. ^{{cite news | last = | first = | coauthors = | title = Roundy | newspaper = The Wisconsin State Journal | location = Madison | pages = | language = | publisher = | date = April 4, 1924 | url = | accessdate = }} 4. ^{{cite news | last = | first = | coauthors = | title = The Press: Understandable Man | newspaper = Time | location = | pages = | language = | publisher = | date = April 3, 1944 | url = http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,850465,00.html | accessdate = }} 5. ^{{cite book | last = Frei | first = Terry | title = Third Down and a War to Go | publisher = Wisconsin Historical Society Press | year = 1997 | pages = 26}} 6. ^{{cite book |last=Farmelo |first=Graham |title=The Strangest Man: the Life of Paul Dirac |publisher=Faber and Faber |location=London |year=2009 |isbn=0-465-01827-0 |oclc=426938310 |ref=harv |pages=162–3}} Bibliography
