OT: Neil Devlin leaving the Denver Post
I know he's something of a cult hero to some on this site for his flowing locks, so wanted to relay that he had left the Denver Post. He was actually pretty great at his prep coverage and it will be missed.

Until he gets picked up by 24/7.

Isn't that some dude's avatar?
Evenyoubrutus.
No...
Swear to god I always thought that was a joe dirt face swap with someones dads face or something.
Never knew that was a real guy with real... awesomeness.
EDIT: Apparently I'm not the only one...
...evenyoubrutus. Mind blown.
It was Jeff Foxworthy
Me too...oops.
Because I had to read these comments three times before it occurred to me that it wasn't Jeff Foxworthy.
So what's your next move?
Fryin up some Vienna Sausages and tippin' some cups, I reckon.
Huh. I've always thought that was Sean Bean.
wait a sec,
is evenyoubrutus=Neil Devlin.
Retires so that he can spend more time posting on mgoblog?!?!
I thought he was Boromir.
Why did you include a picture of Joe Dirt?
LOL - I always thought that was David Spade too! Never heard of the reporter though.
Lol he looks like the love child of Jeff Foxworthy and Joe Dirt!!!
is who I thought it was.
I always thought it was Joe Dirt as well. Never actually heard of Neil Devlin until now.
I was about to come here and post a snarky comment about it being a bad thread, but I was mistaken.
Best of luck to your future endeavors Mr. Devlin.
UK leaving the EU too. amilate?
I never knew EvenyouBrutus was a writer. From Denver no less.
Although he did sound a bit high at times...
Devexit?
Underrated post.
He has been a good reporter for the prep scene here in Colorado. Judging from his tweet, it looks like the Denver Post is poised to reduce the staff yet again. Hope he finds a good landing spot.
Perhaps they can ax Kizsla and Paige then. Ugh!
the ability to upvote you more than once, I'd just keep hitting the upvote button.
I despise those two.
Kiszla isn't even a good reporter but clearly hasn't done anything athletic in his life. Outside of DC, I haven't seen someone so inept at their job but still employable.
Pagie... well, if one can turn sexual harassment is a career boost, there's not much which can be done.
I check out the Denver Post online some and refuse to give either of them clicks. When we got the Post delivered to our house, they were easily the worst part of the sports section.
I refuse to read Kizla even when I have the print edition. He is the one they should kick to the curb.
...is the absolute worst. It still boggles my mind he was not fired when he got caught going through Dante Bichette's locker at Coors Field. If he was a great writer, that would be a lame excuse to keep him, but he is awful. The Post has had some very good sports writers over the years who have gone on to bigger things, Adam Schefter, Rick Riley, Marc Spears, and Mike Monroe to name a few. Kizla and Paige, and especially Kizla, are not in that class.
Paige should have been shitcanned 15 years ago. And if you want to argue longer, I won't dispute it.
Neil?
Ann Arbor teenager James O'Neil leaving the local Subway to take his sandwich making skills to Jimmy Johns.
And now he can look forward to a lateral move out of Jimmy Johns since they got rid of the noncompetes for sandwich engineers.

Was it Devlin that did a TV interview with Carlo Kemp?
Yes

I was looking forward to his interview with Dylan McCaffrey when Dylan wins the Golden Helmet (top prep football player in Colorado).
Chalk me down as someone who has no idea who this guy is.
I am 40 posts into this and I can't figure out why i should continue. Those of you who do, enjoy the ride
yo: he will be missed
yo: he was da man 4 colo prep football coverage
Colo prep! Ha!
Isn't that Joe Dirt?
i thought whoever avatar this was, was really them. i was hoping to tailgate with this bad mother fucker at a game the next time I went. oh well, good luck reporter dude.
Haha I had identical thoughts
when you first notice the posse starts to circle. Showing up to the famous-final-scene meeting where your boss, the director of HR, a security guard and an empty box are present means you waited at least one day too long.
Yea, at least he was given the time to mullet over
