He’s the best beat writer we have. They must have just used that as an excuse

If they claim they fired him for performance, they have to be lying. He was the best writer on the beat.

Wow-with those standards I guess we will be seeing Bob Ryan or Mike Lupica moving to Columbus as Brett’s replacement.

Unbelievable. Seems like we just can’t have nice things.

Jeez. Hopefully Steve and Paul can grab him up. He’s a good follow on Twitter.

“Performance” could be other things than the final product in the paper. Wonder if he was missing some assignments or something.

Coming out of that ********, I would assume he didn't incorporate enough wrastling, cockfighting, or noodling. What an embarrassment. I would say cancel your subscriptions, but come on... I bet The Packet has higher circulation. Only recourse is to hit their advertisers... So everyone boycott Leigh Mall.

ETA. I used my time machine to go back to the late 90's and start a Grass Roots effort to boycott all businesses that advertise in the Dispatch from Leigh Mall. How's it going?

He is way too talented for Paul. He was the one everyone said would be national.

What's the deal with Leigh Mall? Bad place? We stay in Columbus for games, but never been to the mall. From the outside, it looks dilapidated. In fact, the whole town looks kinda sketchy. Starkville is much better.

He must have forgot to take the garbage out! Hate it for Brett, he is very talented and good at his job from our viewpoint. He was a great follow on Twitter. It’s really a shame that someone who does a good job loses that job but useless blowhards are still wasting oxygen.

He was probably the best Journalist we had...said that it was based on his performance

Well they just said "performance" not "poor performance". Maybe he was doing too good of a job at that paper and making everyone else there look bad. Who knows?
