If you are here representing Flo this doesn't help.  Arrogance like this is basically a microcosm of Flo.  In a general sense the culture and vibe of Flo is just unlikeable.  They still have value and they are not the devil but that value is dwindling.

unfortunately i am message board warrior at heart. it's in my blood and is never going away. I am bound to this forum for life and sometimes things get spicy, can't be helped. but i will tell the bros at the office to chill with the arrogance and put out nothing but positive vibes going forward. thank you for the feedback and understanding.

If you are giving them suggestions based on feedback here I would add that some resume updating might be wise.

Gotta give you credit for still posting here after this week.   Glad it sounds like you didn't get fired for the Nomad retweet!

It's hard to follow nomad on social media because he does the fancy block/unblock when I follow him. He's really cute with that.

Great idea, I'll sign up for the phone call and ask why he does the fancy block/unblock trick.

The Day 4 recap is up on Stalemates. 
 

1. I can’t believe that we almost had Willie in N.C. and I didn’t know it. 
 

 

2. This lawsuit is dumb. Just let Willie do his thing. There is room in the market for both. I like Flo, Rokfin, CP,  and Willie.

 

3. Even though I know CP did some dumb stuff according to the case I also see him having a pretty hard task in keeping Willie “in line”. Just my interpretation but sounds like CP’s boss Ray wanted CP to keep Willie in check. That would be hard because Willie is opinionated. Which I might add, is what I like about him. I also get that the programs cutting off access to Flo would be detrimental to Flo’s market. So, I see where CP is coming from here but I think it is more of a problem with these programs need to learn to take a little criticism without shutting the doors. 
 

4. Seems crazy given how tight CP and Willie were that their relationship just went up in flames like that. Just because I try to believe the best in people I wish they wouldn’t have let this get in the way of that.

I’m not going to get into detail but for a very brief time, 6 weeks or so, I was the “Associate Director” for the RTC where I was paid a percentage of the funds raised. The title was merely to make it sound like an official position but all I did was send emails to boosters. 
 

It didn’t last long as I was balancing a new marriage, a doctoral program, a full graduate assistantship, my coursework, publications, and empirical research. The boss man didn’t like how little I had brought in so we mutually separated, meaning he said he was “finding someone else” and I said, “sounds good”.

How excited are you for your impending subpoena?

I want to hate him, but he’s kin around here.

 And yet Flo has spent literally thousands of dollars complaining about generic phrases like “Big Board,” “Crystal Ball,” and a picture of a brain on a t-shirt.

CP comes out the loser in this whole thing.  He'll be the sacrificial lamb at Flo before long is my guess

Wait is @Jaroslav Hasek Spey? Big fan of you on the forums, your podcast is okay. I wish you had talked to Bratke more about his competition days. 

[Billyhoyle 1,973]

It’s funny to me how the Flo lawyers keep bringing up “flying Willie around the world” as a job perk as if he was going on a vacation. I think 99% of us wouldn’t want to fly to some gym in Siberia to cover wrestling. 
 

I also think think it’s hilarious that they put him on a PIP for criticizing Ohio state. The fact that they put him on a PIP for that is pretty demeaning. And everyone knows once you get put on a PIP it’s time to start looking for a new job, so it makes sense that he left.

what pray tell is a PIP?

Off topic, it is disgusting to me how much lawyers charge these days.  And I am one.

TOSU dropped “up to” $1,600/hr. to the firm it hired to investigate the doc who fondled athletes.  No one is worth that much an hour.  I am positive they could have found a firm less expensive.  Total waste of money.  That is not to indicate that an investigation wasn’t needed.  It was.
