Not compared to Lauren. . . Illman is more of an all-around handicapper compared to her. He does a lot of the baby stuff but she's the pedigree expert.

Here's a pretty lame response from Steven Crist when interviewed by John Kelly on the Leroy's Sports Hour in Las Vegas on April 11. He was asked about Lauren leaving DRF:

Not sure why you think that response was lame. . .

Crist: "I hope she'll still write for us when she's able to."

What the hell is that supposed to mean. They just let her go.

Maybe you should ask yourself what he might have been trying to tell you.

Just because she is no longer employed by them, doesn't mean she can't do freelance work for them in the future.

I guess this was over my head but I have no idea what he was trying to tell us.

it makes sense. not on the payroll, but can freelance-meaning no benefits, workmens comp, ss tax, etc paid out by drf. it's a way to trim their budget. she won't be an employee, would be considered a sub-contractor so to speak.
kind of like coca cola planning to get out of vending. they'll still have the machines, but they'll sell the cokes to a middle man. they still make money, but won't have the employees to pay to fill the machines-that'll be on the middle man.
