Presented without comment. I wonder who his replacement will be with three weeks until media days and five weeks until camp...
make the bad ones going to Toys R Us a thing!
Kind of terse.
Usually these kinds of things are gushy and more than just a sentence or two.
Even the announcements by people getting fired from ESPN are more upbeat than this.
Doesn't seem . . . happy.
You misspelled Sad!
Until they started getting nasty.
If the FREEP hasn't replaced Drew Sharp yet, they will probably stay in-house. My guess is Jeff Seidel. It's just him and the crappy Tigers beat guy. Jeff, remember to turn the lights out on your way out the door.
First thing that come to mind, him and Rosenturd
Bye, Felicia.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I'll drink to that.
Starts July 31. Just saying.
but he has a non-compete clause to fight through. He had to stop contributing at 247Sports because of it.
it and, unless 247sports wants to fight it out for him, he has to pay an attorney to fight it. The 247 sites are independent so unless corporate wants to fight it, its up to Wolverine247.
Depending on the length, it may not be worth the fight regardless.
It's a shame because he was providing great information there.
Don't think you'll see Justice pop up at any newspapers any time soon. He can go back to school with a pretty cool life experience on his resume, and maybe build up from there. I would think there'd be at a least some minimum completed college education.
Mark SnyderVerified account @Mark__Snyder Former sports writer for @freepsports, @theopsports and @theblockm. Supports great journalism and outstanding journalists.He may have decided to support great journalism by retiring.
Really didn't think I'd see as many congrats on that tweet thread before any crap comment. Personally, I won't miss him. Horrible writing, one-sided, incomplete reporting... Brutal, at times. And stretch gate.
Good riddance.
"Congratulations on your RichRod witch hunt that turned up absolutely nothing and actually ended up hurting the program. Miss you."
One thing you won't miss I'm sure is some of the horrid tweets I've been getting all morning. I won't let these fools know of their mistake.

Because he's deleting them.
in my comment above, I had two tweets. One from Mark_Snyder and one from Mark Snyder. Only one is there now.
Well, the replies to the tweet and the responses that Snyder was giving make it sound as if this is a change he is making of his own volition, which I suppose I can see if indeed he was simply tired of the profession or didn't like where it was going. I wasn't a fan of his certainly, but a lot of people in many walks of life seem to do this from time to time, just blow it up and begin again.
Wojo doesnt hide the fact he is a big Michigan fan, and thats ok by me. But Sparty hates him :=)

Fuck'em.
Did the local tribe OK Chief Flak Weasel???
