Whoa sunshine!!!

Is it possible that perhaps he doesn't agree and like I said is just sick of hearing this every time Rosario is part of the race. I would be a little less content with your assessment of peoples thoughts and motivations that youhave no basis for as your not in their head's.

The guy is probably just getting up and has no idea what has gone on here over night....I have no idea what you do for a living but if somebody told you that what you were doing was unethical and that you should check it out with your bosses (CRB not track officials in this case) and you did so but people just can't stay out of your personal business....at some point you tell them to take a hike!! Vic doesn't affect the outcomes of races, has done his due diligence and unless I am missing something, has done nothing wrong so enough with your insistence that HE thinks your right.

The tone here oscillates between scholarly and bar room brawl depending on the winds of the day. You take what you need and leave the rest IMO. TFM actually has his moments of contributing usefull info, a little gruff but bothsome only if you let him get to you. I too am a member of IggyU.

I hear what you are saying....but what it comes down to is he is in the public eye. People in the public eye need to be able to handle criticism without wigging out.

What's funny to me is a few of you are questioning his professionalism. There is none.

A professional would've picked one job and dropped the other due to a conflict of interest. And don't delude yourself into thinking it isn't a conflict of interest. If it wasn't you would be seeing head coaches calling their teams game for a network and coaching at the same time.

So your position is that every whack job on the internet is free to defame or attack those "in the public eye" any way they want, without what they say being called out as nothing more than a flaming bag of dog shiat.

That about right?

So what you're saying is that a guy that has a huge conflict of interest and has a developing pattern of having enemies in the sport (firing by e-mail) is better than other people?

I am pretty sure my comment wasn't an attack.

And let's be serious..there are FAR worse things being said on here compared to what I wrote. Get real.
