My sense is that he left the Trib because it's a horrifying cesspool. But wasn't on the Pens beat on DK's site and wanted to get back to it.

But I don't know for sure.

I didn't know that about the Trib. On one hand there's Rossi, but on the other hand there's Bombulie, whom I have no issues with, and West, whom I really like. Or do you mean upper management?

ayrt

My sense (mainly via DK and a piece that Yohe wrote once) is that it's upper management. They had a huge exodus this year (?? Maybe last hear) and the sense I've always gotten is that the reporters are fine (good even. I don't hate Rossi. He's an inflammatory pain in the ass sometimes (a lot) but at least he's a decent writer.) but the management is crap.

I will never, ever understand your opinion (and I'm reasonably sure it's just you, specifically on meme) that Rossi is a decent writer. It's baffling. You say it every time he comes up and every time I am looking for signs of sarcasm.

Whenever meme is feeling especially Rossi-wanky I think about how Wysh one time compared Rossi to Joe Haggerty and basically said love them or hate them those two absolutely "know where the bodies are buried" with regards to the teams that they cover. I always wonder if Haggs is as despised as Rossi and I just don't know it because I'm not a Bruins nonnie and the only thing I know about Haggs is he named his dog Looch.

Also I wish I could remember what ep of MvsW that was because Wysh did his "Rossi impression" and it was hilarious.
