During the Idaho game yesterday. Remember, this is our best and brightest from our hometown newspaper. Make sure you read the replies.

I had a friend with a favorite expression that fits well here. "No shyte Sherlock."

No the best and the brightest from our hometown is Bianchi. A tad obnoxious but excellent sports writer.

Its just a tweet,
Even if he'd said "Idaho" it would've been a stupid tweet. The fact that he noted something everyone else could see with their own eyes and then finished it by saying "it's obvious" made it just another waste of ether on twitter and brain matter for anyone reading it. It reminds me of his insipid "keys to the game" which also offer no insight whatsoever. Has he ever said anything that was interesting, insightful or thought-provoking? Serious question.

BTW, brain farts may indeed happen to many people. The difference is that actual journalists don't let them hit the paper and don't strike the return key until they reviewed their work. That's because they consider their work to be a serious craft and not some half-assed blather and sh!tty work-ethic spilling from Jack Hairston's cold, dead teat.
Its ironic to me that you consider the posting of a tweet to be a serious craft, its just a stupid tweet that meant about as much as a fart in a elevator. Which Im pretty sure between Robbie and Pat thats probably happened too.
I do like the part about Jack Hairston, he was the best.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that you're a relative of Robbie. Please tell him it's nothing personal.

It's actually not only tweets that Robbie points out incredibly obvious points. I won't read his articles because he just points out random facts. "Florida got a field goal with 3 minutes left in the first half to go up by 10, they got the ball to start the second half". For some reason most of his articles just tell you what happened in the game. Rarely do they include any analysis or other information which I suppose is valuable if you didn't go to the game, but wouldn't you just watch the highlights?

You'd be pretty surprised at the sloppy shyt paid writers write before it's edited.

Twitter. No editors. Robbie, take note. Turn the phone off.

Plus rehashes the same point over and over to fill out his article. Very redundant.

That's an indication that he started penning the game story before the game ended to save time.

I've really come to the conclusion that, in many cases, it's the incompetent people that end up making it big in life. I've noticed it in all facets of my life from my time at UF and now in my professional career. I'm not saying Robbie has hit the big time obviously, but damn dude either take pride in your work or pack it in.

Andrieu and Dooley didnt make it big in life. They are below a Dominos manager in the pecking order.

I doubt they make $50k. I wouldnt be surprised to hear they make $30k.
