No, Drip shares Rob's personal information so willy nilly!
Actually, I'm not sharing anything that is new to those who know him. He's ok financially speaking.

I guess we are all of his closest friends here then.

Lol. yeah. I don't know what's the big deal about this. I just said the guy is doing ok without writing for a newspaper. Unlike many people here, it wasn't his only source of income.
I guess that makes him him a bit smarter than many of the people taking shots at him.

My investments are kinda hurting, Drip. Can you share what he's got his money in that is doing so well? Hope it's not with Bernie Maddoff.

Now, that's getting too personal. Let's just say he's an entrepreneur and he's doing ok and leave it at that.

Yeah, I guess we're all the dumbasses for actually doing a good job at the job that was paying the bulk of our salaries. Instead of mailing it in on his columns and asking stupid questions and then piling up as many radio and TV gigs and TV commercials as his lame paper would allow.

When in doubt, sling rock.

I think I figured it out, Parker is who you get your crack off of. This explains many of your posts, you must be in a drug induced haze.
 
Doesn't matter to me whether Parker is penniless or if he short-sold GM stock or if he's a trust-fund kid or if he won the lottery. What matters is that someone of his repute is no longer siphoning off what would be someone else's honest wages from a news organization.

Heck, that's the CEOs' jobs.
 
drippy is just throwing more **** against the wall to see what sticks. Unfortunately for him, nothing is sticking.

The sad part is, his job likely won't be filled, so someone that needs and deserves a job will still be on the outside looking in.

I love it Hank when you try to spin doctor my posts to make it appear as if they are about me instead of the subject. You throw it out there to see how many sheep are going to follow your lead and usually, they do.
Double J, you are right in that his job won't be filled. That is indeed sad but the News is taking on a lot of water and there is a possibility, the way things are going in this business, it could become extinct.

Don't be so sure about that. There could be an internal promotion, and then the position vacated by the promotion would be filled.

You'll learn... he knows all, except when he doesn't.
 
Drip, since you're such a big apologist for Rob (assuming you really aren't him) you can expect some heat for defending someone who ought to be booted out of journalism.

Um, slappy, have you mixed me up with someone else, perchance?

Well no. But I was referring to someone else, if that's what you mean...
 
Rob is desperately trying to get hired by MLB site. He's also supposed to write an internet column for a local TV website, only they're in for a surprise when they see just how much editing this guy needs.
 
I see Rob Parker as a success story. For the last 10 years or so he made a terrific income from newspaper, radio and TV work. Now it's time to do something else, but for a while there, he was a lottery winner.

(Baloo: I've also seen his unedited copy. Astounding... )
