    Slappy. Lighten up. You've made 48 posts on this thread about it and want to argue about the guy. Come on, let's get real.
    Look if you are that hell bent on getting the guy fired, have you thought about making that suggestion to the powers that be at the paper?
    I don't want to argue with you Slappy. There's nothing to prove by doing so.

    You're right, no one wants to argue with Slappy - because he echoes what we all feel.

    Don't say he echoes what we all feel. Slappy speaks for Slappy. No one speaks for everyone around here Mark.
    To me, it's like kicking a wounded animal. There's nothing left to kick and there's not much fun in doing so.

    I'm not sure which is sadder: you defending a piece of shit like Wab Parker or that you went back and counted slappy's posts on this thread.

    What's sad is that you want to create something out of nothing. You should get the facts straight. I NEVER defended what Rob did.

    I'm telling you Parker also got majorly duped by a message board poster who was 13. A few years ago he said he had an anonymous source who said the Pistons were trading Ben Wallace. The source, of course, that rhymes, turned out to be a 13 year old who made up the rumor. I have searched for a week to find the article where I read this at. And have yielded no results. I narrowed it down to a blog a read. A credible blog at mgoblog.com. I finally emailed mgoblog and talked to the writer. He too remembers the situation but couldn't find the post. Whatever. I don't care that I can't find written proof of this. It totally happened. I remember it vividly.

    The former is sadder. The latter helps him reenforce basic skill sets like counting... as in "Under the Drip screen name, I posted 43 times on this thread."

    Mitch Albom said that little incident in St. Louis was nothing too...

    From what I can gather Mustang is that obviously Rob has become lazy as a journalist. He's a bright guy. He's got a master's from Columbia and I don't think many of those ranking on him can say that.
    It's sad that he's become lazy but at the same time, I just asked one guy why he has come against him as if it were a one-man crusade. I didn't ask to pick an argument. I asked out of curiosity.
