Rob Parker controversy

You can assume all you want. Whether you are right or wrong is not the issue...
Parker needs to go. He's been wrong and reckless more times in the last three months than any other reporter holding a job. Next time, it might create real problems. Serious kind.

I will, however, say my ties to Detroit run a helluva lot deeper than yours ever will. And anytime you want to stop pontificating on all things Detroit, those of us who grew up there, lived there, are from there would truly appreciate and end to your shallow observations on this and other threads.

 

Slappy. you don't know anything about me. You don't know anything about what I know about Detroit, if I live there or any where else for that matter.
You say that you don't like Rob as a reporter. That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.
I merely pointed out that Rob is a friend. That goes beyond what he does for a living.
As a professional I don't like what has transpired and pretty much tried to leave it at that. For some reason, you have taken bits and pieces of posts and formulated an opinion that I am trying to justify what he has done.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

 

And so is just about every columnist at a major metro, apparently. :

 

And your point is?

 

*whistle*

Heck of a thread to read for my first time on the SportsJournalists.com boards.

 

The point is moot other than to create something that I don't want to be a part of Moddy.
For the most part the discussion about this issue has been pretty cool, in my opinion. I think its been a healthy exchaange of ideas and not too much cat fighting.

 

Stick around. We serve a wicked pepper steak.

 

Don't you mean raisin ham?

 

nope.
