JRC axes 3 at Pontiac, Mich.

There are some very good people there, Dyepack. Don't broadbrush.
Alan Adler was solid and worked for AP, Joe Szczesny is a solid auto guy, Keith Langlois deserves far better than the people he works for, and Vaughn Gurganian is a damn good photographer.
Of course, addition by subtraction will come if they get rid of Walker and that fatass clown columnist of theirs....

 

Hey now! The aforementioned columnist was a better athlete in his day than 99 percent of the people on the face of the Earth. (What in the name of God that has to do with anything is beyond me. But he sure likes to tell people that, doesn't he?) What a mess that place is these days.

 

Well you know, many people say he's a Matt Millen lookalike... just ask him...

 

I could throw out some specifics about a couple of those people, but I'll save that for another time.

Lessenberry's assessment is dead-on: JRC fucked up when it bought this shit, and now it's surrounded by Gannett on almost all sides. There's only one outcome: Bitter defeat.

 

Millen's butt maybe.

 

Howie Long, not Matt Millen.

 

Caputo? That guy is horrible on the radio.

 

Update at Wenalway.

 

Yippee!

 

"Let the pigeons loose!"

"We have no pigeons."

 

You're right! GEez, it's all coming up on me now... He told Matt Millen that many people think he looked like Howie Long... Millen's response was like [crickets]

 

In my very brief time living in Michigan, I always thought the 21st Century papers were massive underachievers.

Still, this is no way to go about shit.

The most horrendous thing is a comment allegedly made by a JRC exec, according to Lessenberry (no pun intended):
