    Drip, where do you think Rob is going to end up?

    I've talked with him. He's had some things in the works for some time. He told me things as a friend and as one, I won't reveal them on this site. Let's just say, he's not hurting now and his future is pretty good. I mentioned when this first began that something was going to happen and it created an uproar. I hope this post doesn't start another one. It's not worth it.

    Given his track record, why does that assclown keep getting jobs?

    Careful, Tarheel. You're speaking badly about drippy's friend ...

    Well, let's just hope Parker has learned something he will take to his new job. The other screwups seem to have not taught him much.

    So, I guess there's an opening at the News?

    Tar, the assclown keeps getting a job because another assclown thinks he brings something to the table. I think that's pretty evident.
    KJIM, Rob and I have talked and he's learned something from all of this. At least that what he has told me. If he's bullshitting, only time will tell.

    Serious question: If someone else, someone who was better at their job, had asked the question, does he get fired? I think no, but have no problem with the paper using this as an excuse to undo a mistake.

    Serious answer: Depends on his history. If he had pulled things like accusing an innocent player of causing injury to another student-athlete in a fight or says a basketball player was caught in a drug house or that a third player was suspended for the season -- and none of it true -- then the answer should be yes.

    Maybe it was the HR department.
