OT: Neil Devlin leaving the Denver Post

Submitted by echoWhiskey on

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.

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.

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.

...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.

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.
