I also don't see anything wrong with the quips on Twitter. Not like he's publishing that stuff in the Times.

 

Again, Geroge, we're not talking about facts.  You're confusing things.

Just be thankful he doesn't make disparaging quips about Publix.

He seems to be bothered when people ask him questions about things pertinent to his job.  If I did that at my job, I would be having a nice talk with the boss.  At the boss' request.

I just feel good beat writers like Greg seem more engaged.  Greg had fan chats, interviews with recruiting and other experts, etc.  Knight does the job and that's it, which I guess is fine.  I've even seen Greg engage other writers on Twitter about factual big 12 qualifications for USF.  Where's Joey on that? If I missed it, my bad and my apologies.  Like any job/career it is what you make of it, and right now Joey works a few hrs per week.

Not about getting someone fired, its about some not doing the job,

I'm with you on that. That's the whole reason I contacted The Times. I asked for something specifically related to his job and he responded with the nice benefit of food that he gets for free.

My beef is that even in doing his job, its totally half-assed. When was the last time he had an individual take? Something breaking? Hell, something I couldn't find myself in 5 minutes? JK is essentially a professional Googler.

A professional Googler that occasionally takes passive aggressive swipes at USF. I think he comparison to mini-Fennely is quite apt.

Life's way too short to be anxious over something like this. Just look forward to football. Should be a fun season

 

 

 

 .... wrong thread, too?

Well...**** him. One of two things is going to happen. Either we move up to the Big 12 and he gets canned for being a dogshit writer or we get left behind and he's the perfect writer for our move into CUSA.

Yes, in shirking any opportunity to respond to a fan's realignment-related question or to file a report, he says, don't worry about it.  Yes, right thread, Trip.

The real re-alignment problem as it relates to covering USF is that there is nothing factual to report on.
