Yeah it'd be smart for a GM to call out one of his players in public.

I see your point.

That's nothing like the corporate world at all.

I think that is a sophistry.

That's a good idea and all, Mr. gblowfish. But I prefer to be paid for my snitching. At the very least, I expect to get my own sentence reduced.

I just had the unfortunate experience of listening to Babb on 610. Afterwards, it occurred to me that the biggest and most interesting aspect of this story is the Haley part. All the rest can be chalked up to a bunch of Lamarites feeling disenfranchised by the new regime ... and, of course, the fact that Arrowhead is obviously infected by some low-life bastard who leaves candy wrappers lying about willy-nilly (and that gives the scum-sucking cretin credit for a willy).

The Haley part is interesting, though. He tells Babb to expect a call from a number he won't recognize (ostensibly due to a concern over the alleged cell phone bug problem) and that there isn't a "safe" place to talk at the facility. 4 days later, he's fired.

1 plus 1 equalates to dos in my book of wacky, yet easy to remember, formulas. It's this side of the story that needs to be investigated ... preferably by some hippie chicks with large bosoms.

You can be critical of a player and not call them out.

How many times have we heard someone in a press conference say "he knows he needs to play better," etc?

Well the GM does look like Tony Soprano..

It's threads like this one that make me miss 'Hamas.' He'd be roasting Pioli over an open spit right now.

Maybe Pioli was mad that they spend $3 million a year on coffee, which kept him from being able to sign a better backup Safety when Berry went down.

Word from Hamas, sourced from my Facebook wall: "I can no longer support this team under this regime. Wow, just wow."

I'm not sure I understand the significance of the gum/candy wrapper in the stairwell, and I have not read through all 670 some posts looking for the answer.

But instead of just leaving it there for a week, then picking it up and making an issue of it at a meeting, wouldn't the logical thing to have done been going to the custodian for that area... or the head of the custodian department... and let them know what your expectations were as to the cleanliness of the facility? Maybe even in a private setting?

FYP

Hasn't Haley always been superstitious and paranoid? I dont buy it

No. Pioli saw an opportunity to wave his big corporate dick around and make a scene.

Would you expect anything less from a guy who wears oversized jackets?

Not how things are done in Auschwitch

Captain Queeg wants to know who ate the strawberries.
