Probably a few dozen, if that. No one in his right mind seeks a newspaper career at this point. It's a dying field. Sad but true.
Nonsense. You do it to get your name out there for the next job. A lot of people read/listen to Pat Dooley, far more than his "talents" warrant.

There are millions of people in the Gator Nation. Every damn one of them know who Pat Dooley is. That's worth something.

Come up with a question that makes sense and I'll try to answer it.

My point was that a hell of a lot more people than those in Gainesville know who Pat Dooley is.

It means nothing if you lack the means of translating it into something.

Thanks for coming around to my original point. Finally, you catch on. I knew you could do it.

You said it was worth something. It means nothing.

Everyone else around Pat has evolved to the internet and syndication. You have to translate your name into something.

He's nothing more than a familiar name amongst Gator fans. There's limited monetary value until he moves on it.

Unfortunately for Dooley they do.

How old are those guys? I just looked in a mirror and it's bad but not that bad.

It's worth something to someone with actual talent that could use it to advance a real career.

78, you've missed my point at least 7 times in this thread alone. You've set records. I may just throw up my hands at this point.

We're parsing ideas. His notoriety has potential, no doubt. To my knowledge, he's chosen not to monetize it.

Again, hundreds of talented, energetic young journalists would give their right arms for these jobs at probably half the salary......and this is the best the Sun can do.

Could be worse. Could be Finebaum

He has been around the program 30 years. He should have friends everywhere, sources everywhere, nothing should surprise him, and he should be well AHEAD of the curve, not insisting Butters rumors were bullshyt on the day he was fired.
