Of all the #TwitterFingers this afternoon, that maybe the best.

Boom, damn, way to sack up Riley.

And Roy McClain?

Roy is still around, just rarely posts and never in his name.

HK is busily penning a piece on how he almost broke the story that was right under his big fat nose. #nocheeringinthepressbox #editorfailedhim

The funny thing

about that is nafoomers we're all over Martin, busting his balls about "trying" to control the message, where this blatantly says they DO control the message.

What I don't understand is why the CL would rather have a national writer break a story in their own back yard rather than the CL break it. Do they think OM would really cut them off. They are the largest paper in the state. It would look pretty bad on OM.

Because they'd rather be "in favor" than do their job. I can't honestly say if I was in the shoes of somebody making small-time print journalist money if I'd be above it either.

Don`t know but I guarantee you the Kang had a nice evening wherever he was....

DawgatAuburn asked that very question. Former UM CL beat writer Riley Blevins responded:

It's a shame that Roy is always remembered for that piece of MSU internet history because he really is a nice guy.
