Good.

 

I'm saddened but not overly shocked that Rob was fired by ESPN. I think his interview on WDIV-TV citing that he was shocked may have done him in. He should've just kept his mouth shut. I hope ESPN has the same approach when others such a plagiarist Lynn Hoppes and foot-in-mouth know it all Stephen A. Smith make blunders.
I'm confident that Rob will be back in some capacity in journalism. I'm wishing him nothing but the best.

 

This is the greatest/worst decision in (fill-in-the-blank) HISTORY!!!!!!!

Regardless of how you feel about Rob's work, gloating about someone being fired isn't cool. That's just my opinion.

 

In your last post, you said you hope Lynn Hoppes and Stephen A. Smith get fired.

 

Your comprehension is bad. I said I hope ESPN has the same approach when others such a plagiarist Lynn Hoppes and foot-in-mouth know it all Stephen A. Smith make blunders.
I'm not hoping for anyone to be fired. I'd just like to see that they treat the next screw up the way they treated Rob. I know life isn't fair but...

 

Keeping alive his record of being fired from every job he's ever had.

 

If you hope they take the same approach, you hope they are fired.

 

I don't want to see anyone fired but I do see your point and it is well taken.

 

Drip, that's the problem with Rob. His mouth keeps getting him in trouble. When will he learn?

 

ESPN put him on with the intent that he open his mouth, loudly and often. That he would open his mouth and to talk about the subject and topic that got him fired was so forseeable as to have been planned. That whole Bayless/Smith vomitorium is programmed. Maybe ESPN should re-think (or just think) about who, what and how they program these screechfests. And no one screeches more, with less, than Stephen A Smith.

They have Mike and Mike, the ultimate in mediocirty and conventional blandness. Total establishment programming. PTI, because of Wilbon and Tony, is both intelligent and humorous and somewhat self reverential, is the best programmed show on. But with so many channels and unwillingness to return to their roots and actually program sports, ESPN put itself in the position where their 1,000 monkeys typing all day long is bound to write something demeaning.

Bring back Australian Rules Football, D2 sports, track and field, weightlifting, Olympic-style wrestling, swimming, diving, field hockey and lacrosse and stop screeching.
