Garry Howard out at Sporting News

Incorrect. Bill Windler ran the Milwaukee department for all those years.

 

Good points Moddy. The bottom line is that another guy with a wealth of experience is no longer in the business. Like him or not, that should concern anyone who is still making a coin in this profession. Many of those who have criticized him don't have a quarter of the talent or the experience that Garry D. Howard has. If he's been relieve of his duites, no matter what the reasons, it should send up warning signals about the state of this industry.
If someone could be so kind as to send me either a PM or post what "black Michael Scott" means, it would be appreciated.

 

It means you are as ignorant of pop culture as you are many other things.

 

Here is what is great about Garry Howard:

People talk about him.

Frankly, if I'm Gaary I'm loving the criticism. For him, the notoriety is good. I mean, plain vanilla, obscure sports editors are a dime a dozen. There are hundreds of resumes like that floating around.

Garry is black, but no different than white guys who allegedly are terrible at what they do but keep getting better jobs. Surely Garry isn't the only sports editor who keeps climbing the ladder despite supposedly bad work, but as far as I can tell, he is the only sports editor routinely eviscerated on this board. But that just may be good for him.

Just as there are women who are attracted to bad boys, there are news hiring managers who are intrigued by reporters and editors who seemingly are controversial and are much talked about. Judging by the comments on this board. Garry Howard fits that description exactly.

 

Close, but no, Cigar.

 

Because someone doesn't know something doesn't make them ignorant. Not asking and just assuming is worse. If pop culture is your thing, more power to you. I don't know what is meant by the reference and I asked for a definition. What's your issue with that?

 

I believe someone not knowing something is the actual definition of ignorant, Drip.

 

If only there was some mechanism to look up pop culture references, so you could understand the context of the comment.

It's a shame that, with all of our technology, nothing like that exists.

 

LOL you're right Ace. Still don't know what a Black Mike Scott is.

 

Sorry to disappoint but I actually did use "all of our technology" and what I saw didn't equate with Garry D. Howard.

 

So, then you do know what it means, you just think it doesn't apply.
