    Too bad.. one of the best ones around didn't get that call and it's Mobile's loss (and no, I'm not referring to me -- or anyone currently working in Alabama)

    You're too kind. Really. I appreciate the compliment.

    And Mobile would do good with either, but my backing is behind one of them.

    You know, I did think of you on this. But you were so hellbent on moving to the big muddy that I didn;t think you'd come back...

    The "Big Muddy" needed me. And I needed the big muddy. And it's close enough to Alabama that I can go home occasionally. And I've got a job already.

    Oh, and I again praise Mobile for its finalists.

    The Rockbottom Pipeline churns forth this news: Gentry Estes, formerly of the Chattanooga Times Free Press and Decatur Daily, has been tapped to replace Tom Murphy in Mobile.

    Rockbottom's informed judgment: Hearty congrats to Gentry ... though I think Mobile picked the wrong finalist. Alas, we shall see.

    Congrats to Gentry. Welcome to Hell!
     
  7. I think Mobile made an out-fucking-standing hire here. Congrats to Randy for a sneaky-good snag.

    In Gentry's honour, and oh how I hate doing this.

    You're dead to me. Viva la Red Devils.
     
  10. Great hire by Randy, although that's no big surprise. I worked for Randy and Gentry worked for me. It will be a great combination.

    Gentry is very, very good people, and I'm sure this is a great hire.

    Don't let other people's sour grapes spoil it for you, bro.
     
  12. Not that it's needed, but allow me to join the Gentry Estes praise.

    He's good, very good people, as Mr. Wingman attests, and will do a very good job for Mobile, no doubt.
