Comments on: DickRod Screws His New Employer http://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2008/07/09/dickrod-screws-his-new-employer/ Just a few guys loving the same woman and talking Irish Football.

By far the dirtiest thing any human on God's Green Earth could do. Even small businesses have a "no competition" clause where you cannot sell out, buy another place, and poach old customers. It's along the same lines as Ty Willy going golfing instead of recruiting when he found out he was gone. You are paid to do a job, and until they stop paying you, you do it. I can't stop flipping burgers at McDonald's because I found out that Burger King's making me the whoppper guy, nor can I start taking the angus beef to my new fast food employer. A poor analogy, I know. But it's lunch time at the office and I can spell the #5 from here.

And no, RR won't get a 10 year extension because no one in the NFL will want him. they wanted Weis at 5-2 his first year. did that warrant a 10 year deal? probably not. ND went too far as the school is wont to do. but it's about perception and supply and demand. there was demand for CW in the NFL that year and he was getting overtures. no one expects RR to bring Barwis and a spread offense to the NFL and have success, so the situations are completely different.

What I don't understand is how Biscuit uses the whole affair as evidence that Richrod is Meyer like in his scum factor. He took a new job while he still had another job, it happens all the time. And if you are honest with hyourself, I think you would have to agree it is a pretty major step up. Yeah, Kevin Grady what the heck were you thinking. IMO, there should be two levels of DUI, between .008 and .015, you still get today's penalites. Above that, jail time and a loss of license for 5 years.

Maybe he will go 5-2 his first 7 games and get a 10 year extension? Tiresome really, new employer paid a buyout clause they could easily afford, happens all the time. Also, just FYI, RichRod did not instigate the court proceedings, WVU did. Gee what a shock, Biscuit all over RichRod.

Good call. I could've gone on for an hour, but frankly I've become tired. I'm glad it's over and that there is SOME logic in the world, such that he had to just pay it. That’s right! Good call.
