Gheorghe: The Decision
As noted in the comments below, shortly after 9pm this evening a member of the G:TB editorial staff will be terminated. Live post-termination interview with esteemed blog journalist Alf to follow. And don't try to read anything into the picture...seriously. Why would we fire rob?
Zman is quivering in a corner. Or, for a change, actually working.
ReplyDeleteLast hired, first fired, right? Come on!
ReplyDeletewhat kind of income we talkin about here? bene's?
ReplyDeleteYes, similar to working at Bennigan's? That's what you're asking, right?
ReplyDeleteBenihana! Wasabi!
ReplyDeleteAny severance with this firing?
so whigor is getting shitcanned? what's the dillio? can't wait for the scoop - tomorrow's post should be an article on the matter.
ReplyDeletewhigor can't even slack responsibly. come on!
ReplyDeleteWHIGOR!!!!!!
Smart money is on Dave or Mr. Truck.
ReplyDeleteThe longshot scenario is firing a newly created character or old one who after a momentary reinstatement (Bailey Wick?).
Good idea, Jer. Can we bring you under our umbrella for the next 5 hours?
ReplyDeleteOr maybe we fire PetCobra. One unsolicited testimony isn't enough, dude.
Clearly I'm on the hot seat. What TJ and Rob don't understand is that I deal with the goddamn commenters so the bloggers don't have to! I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?

ReplyDeleteAccording to John Starks, Donnie Walsh has done a great job clearing "calary sap."
ReplyDelete- But I don't even really work here.
ReplyDelete- That's what makes this so difficult.
Jerry as Kramer. I like it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, as TV characters go, I'd say Jerry is actually a cross between Mr. Spock and the guy working at the Argument Clinic.
On the plus side, Cleveland, the Browns just signed Bobby Engram.
ReplyDeleteIt's party time in the Flats tonight.
espn: the magazine is reporting that it's not a dismissal - one of us is actually retiring. because he has mrsa. or hiv.
ReplyDeleteTalk radio says it's neither a firing nor a retirement, but a public pantsing. Self-inflicted.
ReplyDeletePlace your bets accordingly.
Reports have surfaced an unnamed GTB staffer called this whole exercise "balloon pants".
ReplyDeleteIs this like Survivor where we get to vote someone off the island?
ReplyDeleteWait, I don't think I get a vote, do I?
I have a source that's reporting it's not a firing but a lifetime ban for TJ. He failed his 300th drug test.
ReplyDeleteI've got a West Coast colleague reporting this could all be typical gheorghian shenanigoats to pump up lackluster ratings.
ReplyDeleteHello to all our new Faith No More followers...
mavs gave brendan haywood 6/$55. guh.
ReplyDeleteTake the straw out of your mouth, son.
ReplyDeleteBuzz Bizzinger is some kind of angry.
ReplyDeleteThis is completely ridiculous
ReplyDeletethis is the dumbest thing i've ever watched. and i've watched 'small wonder'.
ReplyDeletebissinger is on fire. angriest man alive.
ReplyDeleteBroussard might have a heart attack.
ReplyDelete"Decision will be announced at 9:10."
ReplyDeleteHorseshit that I'm still hear like a dipshit at 9:23 PM.
He is going to be CRUCIFIED in New York the rest of his career if he doesn't go there.

ReplyDeletePete Rose is sitting home in front of his TV, prepping his bets for the pony races at Santa Anita, cursing at Jim Gray.
ReplyDeleteheat. meh.
ReplyDeleteWe need a split sceen view of the bars and streets in Clevaland
ReplyDeleteThe Lake is gonna burn! Again!
ReplyDeleteDagger for the Knicks, their senile President and their dipshit owner.
ReplyDeleteGood news for tri-state area fans of Kelenna Azubuike.
Every time Bron Bron brings up his mother, I think of Delonte sticking his dork in her.
ReplyDeleteRiley is gonna "Stan Van Gundy" Spoelstra by December. He'll go back to Vegas and resume his Donny Osmond impersonator gig.
ReplyDeletedavid lee to the warriors. sorry, tr.
ReplyDeleteSo LeBron does, or does not, have HIV?
ReplyDeletedid we fire him?
ReplyDeletein all that contrived nonsense, the one thing that rang true to me was lebron's desire to win as a team. he's no kobe or michael in terms of his killer intinct, but he might be magic in terms of making a bunch of really good pieces fit together.
ReplyDeletein other news, robbie findley still has no touch.
I think this is going to be fascinating. Far more interesting that if he'd gone to NY. I'd have preferred Chicago, but this will be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteInternet Knicks fans are absolutely losing their shit.
findley just drew a penalty and finished the pk. hmm, let's try this again.
ReplyDeletein other news, zooey deschanel still hasn't shown up at my house with a million dollars.
Commence sour grapes:
ReplyDeletehttp://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5365793
NY post is reporting that the Yankees are about to get Cliff Lee.
ReplyDeleteAs a Met & Knick fan, that would make today a special circle of hell.
Please tell me Vagina Vazques gets dealt in that transaction?
ReplyDeleteAnd Mark, great day for you...TN footballers in yet another bar fight.
ReplyDeleteHey The Teej - Since June 1st, Vazquez is 4-2 with 37 Ks in 46 innings in 7 starts. He's got an ERA of 2.93 and a WHIP of 0.93.
ReplyDeleteI'll take that for my 5th starter and let him be a long reliever in October and November.
I'm sorry, but I refuse to accept numbers in the case of that spineless cocksucker. He and Kevin Brown will forever be on my Buscemiwesque shit list for 2004.
ReplyDeleteMel Turpin committed suicide?
ReplyDeleteThe other rumor that is getting kicked around is that after the Lee deal is done that the yanks trade Javy to the phillies for a bat.
ReplyDeleteTR, I blame LeBron.
ReplyDeletebron bron - he's kind of an amateur isn't he? doesn't he have "handlers" that make sure his shit's in order before he goes on tv?
ReplyDeletealso - does anyone else find it interesting that there's a boys & girls club in greenwich, ct? are these the kids that don't have trust funds?
someone's gotta make a movie about this spy swap deal.
ReplyDeleteso did no one from gtb get pink slipped last night?
Clearly you have never walked the mean streets of Greenwich. Without the boys and girls club, who would be there to make sure kids properly popped their collars and tied their boat shoes smartly?
ReplyDeleteMean Street Posse!
ReplyDeleteAnd they're called bluchers.

ReplyDeleteRob's "Small Wonder" comment last night made me laugh enough to offset the LBJ crapshow. Kudos, little buddy.
ReplyDeleteAnd D-Train, I was given double secret probation, a stern tongue-lashing (from Shlara), and community service (frequenting the Sentence of Dave). Kind of a letdown, but that was the theme last night.
And Faith No More's "Epic" helped get Rob and me through a muggy, drunk summer in Williamsburg 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThis helped, too. A lot.
Is Dan Gilbert taking any action on his championship guarantee?
ReplyDeleteSo LeBron did the same thing to Gilbert that Boozer did to Gund, minus the blindeness angle?
ReplyDeleteBut LeBron never promised he would sign. He always said he'd be a free agent.
ReplyDeleteGood point.
ReplyDeleteAnd LeBron doesn't have those creepy chest pubes that the Boozeman has.
ReplyDeleteHey LeBron . . . you want it all, but you can't have it. It's in your face, but you can't grab it.

ReplyDeleteMy random link of the day.
ReplyDeleteZman and fellow hip-hop fans, I give you this link to DJ Jazzy Jeff and Mick Boogie's summer mix tape. Enjoy.
http://tbz.me/zA7io
Tennessee players involved in a huge bar brawl where they (allegedly) jumped and off-duty cop and were swinging bar stools?
ReplyDeleteOh thank you, thank you Jeebus.
That mix tape is slicker than oil and smooth like silk.
