Beware, Trentonian offering jobs that don't exist

I came up with about 20 or so sports editors at the Trentonian since 1990, although that includes counting some people twice and several who never were given the official promotion or a raise but performed all the duties for an extended period of time.

Well, might as well list them:
Ted Rodgers (first guy to get canned over Lee's Little League coverage)
Doug Jacobs
Chris D'Amico
Doug Jacobs
John Buonoro (sp?)
Laura Ann Eckhart
Craig Schmidt
Mike Raffaele
Rich Timlen
Storm Gifford
Ted Holmlund
Eric Barrow
Chris Baud
Jim Davis
Mark Schiele
James Marshall
Mike Raffaele
Eric Ladley
Carl Barbati
Chris Collins

I know I am missing at least 3-5 more.

more: Dave Lariviere

 

You're fired.

 

you didn't supply the link you heartless bastard.

 

What ever happened to Barbati anyway?

 

I forgot Rich Timlen served a stint as sports editor ... I just knew him as a writer.

I also forgot the late, great Jim Davis served a terms as sports editor. Hopefully the stress of that position didn't contribute to his death. A great writer to cover a beat with and a really nice guy. I learned alot about field hockey from him.... one of the rare writers who would rather cover a high school field hockey game than a high school football game. Also coined my favorite phrase/acroynm for late October-early November -- TTSI/Take This Shit Inside. A reference to not wanting to freeze his ass off covering a late season fall-sports game in bad weather.

 

Barbati actually survived his stint as sports editor and was promoted to executive editor. It was at this position that he met his fate, one cold January day earlier this year. He was called into publisher Murray's office and told, "I've decided to go in another direction." That was it ... Barbati was canned. Too bad, 'cause even though he was management, he couldn't stand JRC. One of the few good guys.

 

There must be 5 people who registered here just to post to this thread.

 

I met one of their guys (I think it was one of their guys?) at the Penn Relays a few years ago. Seemed nice enough.

 

Wicked. Now you know EVERYONE is nice at the Penn Relays! I recall one year everyone was so nice that they even thought the nude-color track suit that Carl Lewis and is 4x100 cronies wore were great.

 

Either that or they created a new screen name just to post here

 

News Flash: New sports editor Aaron Bracy has decided that the cause of all the disgraceful mistakes the sports staff is making is the television. He wants the TV's sound off, because it is too much of a distraction. This edict has been handed down to a staff that is averaging better than a decade's worth of experience, not some kids out of college.

 

Certainly didn't take him long to get into the official fucking-prick JRC management mode. (I would guess the arrival of the first daily 9:15 a.m. ass-reaming phone call from Yardley probably set off this little tirade.)

I predict the lad either has a long future in front of him in JRC corporate management, or he'll be shitcanned in less than six weeks.
