It would be nice to have the beat writer of the Sun talk to us, don't you think? With all the "Crucial" stuff, I think it's safe to say he never will.

No matter what you think of him, he's worlds better than Dooley/Andreu.

Sorry, but when you try to be a middle class white rapper it SHOULD haunt you for the rest of your days.

At the very least, Zach tries to put out content. It may not be very good at times. But he is still working. Dooley and Andreu have done nothing but collect a pay check for almost zero work. They had a good deal going.

I’m far more interested in who they get to replace Dooley. You would think it’s someone with a little more experience under his belt.

Great Video - you really have a face for podcasting.
Made me think of the first time I heard it. The music reminded me of a ‘70’s porn soundtrack and I could see Ox in a plaid Leisure suit, stack heels, with a thin scarf tied around his neck, hair tightly permed and accented by his Fu Manchu. If only there was video.

First time that I've seen that. Not half-bad. Certainly better than some junk I've seen.

It's out of morbid curiosity that I'm even asking this. But what, exactly, is this other junk that you've seen which doesn't quite measure up to that abomination? No links please. Just a brief, cursory description.

This surprises me, I thought they would go with independent type of relationship instead of an employee. I also thought the previous employees might continue writing some content. Time will tell but since they insist on payment, not going to see much unless someone posts here.

Why do they need a second person? Can they even AFFORD a second person?

And he never returned the favor asking to interview the creator of the best Gator fan site on the interwebs? What a dck.
Well, our members relentlessly insulting him, mocking him, and making fun of him may have turned him off. Not sure.

Maybe we have a major sports writer at the Sun who will pick the Gators to win a big game now and then.

I don’t know, but that second person happens to hold the title of sports editor. Kind of hard to imagine a sports department without a sports editor.

(Even if it is only a pseudo title for lead sports columnist.)
