There's a need for a beer summit but I'm afraid it will never happen. FYI, a few weeks ago Demovsky thought he was going to die and the doctors might not have disagreed with him at one point. For that we should all cut slack on the Twitter postings.
I'm reading Stephen Ambrose, 2 part biography of Richard Nixon. This is my favorite Nixon quote. "Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.” Good advice for all of us.
Back to the present and basketball.

For him to take that to twitter shows the type of person he Is. It also shows he had an agenda to tell a one side of the story. Wasn't it on the radio with maino and someone else got interviews to tell the others side and NBC news got Cordero barkleys word. I have a feeling something happen between the two long before this tht burnt bridges down and at this point the feud became more public.

For him to stoop that low to take it to twitter just out of the blue is pathetic and shows he's the complete opposite of a man. Absolutely pathetic.

I still don't understand why we should cut a guy slack because he thought he was going to die. I really don't think I am being irrational here. He had some health concerns which I think deserves compassion. However, I don't understand why that compassion should be exchanged for letting someone spew unprovoked negativity.
I also don't doubt that Alec Brown's dad had said things to Rob about the way games/players are handled. Heck, in the world we live in today that is more common place for parents than not. I take issue with putting it in Alec's timeline/feed. I also take a little issue because it is only one sided. I sit in the section next to the parents at the home games, I have been to many road games in front of small crowds and have talked to AB's family members in passing at these road games. It would be unfair to say that Alec's dad only gets on Wardle as he has plenty of direction for Alec himself.

Lets cut rob some slack. Tom Oates from wsj did make a comment about how he could see why uwgb was picked first in the horizon.
That opened it up for rob to say they have a numbskull for a coach. Or however he made that comment go back to the start of it.
That comment shows maturity.

Rob went out of his way. I'm not cutting him any slack. He just proved the kind of d-bag he really is.

bdkiiing I am behind you 100%. It is painfully obvious that Rob did not, has not nor will he ever like Brian Wardle. However, he does go out of his way does show how big of a d-bag he is. I have not heard Brian Wardle slam him in the paper so what does Rob feel the need to.

Exactly. BW, in my opinion handle the situation professionally, and then there's Rob who goes out of his way to air dirty laundry. Pathetic and sad. I just wish his espn job would have taken him out of the state. He made it well aware he didn't like BW, and has proved he prefers negative articles to positive ones. In fact I remember there being a small paragraph about Alec Brown deciding to return to school for his senior year at the very bottom of the article that talked about Greg Mays' marijuana/suspension ordeal. He clearly was out to get the program since TK left. Utterly unprofessional and pathetic, and he continues to prove it with his tweets. The guy is an absolute joke, I am so glad I don't have to read his articles anymore. I'm damn near tempted to block him on twitter so I never see his tweets again.

If you guys have been paying attention, this wasn't the first time Rob took a shot at Wardle. He's been doing it ever since he left the Gazette. I follow all of the Gazette writers on Twitter, and he's made comments to them about Wardle for months. Most of it has been about how Wardle threatened to sue him. The numbskull response to Tom Oates wasn't the first time. It's just as pathetic that you all are infatuated with him. Move on. You'll get the last laugh if this team goes to the NCAA Tournament.

I have moved on, as I said I'm glad I don't have to to read his articles anymore. I just feel he needs to be called out when he talks like an idiot.

I have not heard Brian Wardle slam him in the paper so what does Rob feel the need to. Rob has been upset ever since TK left GB. As far as BW talking about suing him I don't blame him after the one sided coverage he did. He new they U couldn't comment until everything was done. He never once reached out to past players who played 1-2 years under BW. They did interviews but it only turned up in their local papers. I started watching GB games when John Bennett gave me his tickets because he got to frustrated going to games. I've enjoyed the GB games since then for the most part. Heidmann's term was brutal to watch but the rest were entertaining. Now when we have a great team and promising recruits it's frustrating to have a negative influence always showing up. Some people may even beleive him lol.

its comical to me, not often you have local celebrities have a emotional breakdown on twitter
another good part is when he bashed that guy for using "your" and "you're" incorrectly and then rob forgets how to spell coaches.
Rob Demovsky @robdemovsky 16 Nov @troyhewitt Yeah. A lame attempt to try to stop the reporting we were doing. Also it's another bully tactic. Just how he coachrs
Hey rob it is coaches not coachrs

Since this thread doesn't seem to be ending I thought I'd jump back in. Let me make it clear I respect both Rob Demovsky and Brian Wardle. Both are outstanding individuals. Both need to simply go forward and use the differences that cropped up during the spring allegations and investigation as a learning experience. It's time to button it on the social network and with comments in the community. To their credit I think that is happening. Now it's our turn. (fans)
For the record I found this online. It's the communication Wardle's attorney apparently sent Demovsky. It's pretty standard fair. I received similar letters and verbal warnings over the years. A famous evangelist threatened to destroy my career. I told him I was doing a pretty good job of that myself. ;-)
"I am representing Brian Wardle and I have had an opportunity to read Mr. Demovsky's byline article in today's Press Gazette. Shocking is the fact that Mr. Demovsky's article relies on an unsubstantiated version of events related by the accuser. Mr. Demovsky has not interviewed any eyewitnesses. It is clear the article is trying to influence an ongoing investigation. Character assassination of Brian Wardle's impeccable reputation cannot be tolerated. We are reviewing all of Brian Wardle's legal options."

What most of us were talking about are recent comments from Rob and Coach Wardle. So far I've only seen one side making comments and that's why people are upset? They see what is perceived as a personel agenda not news with the otherside taking the high road? Maybe Coach Wardle has made comments but I haven't seen any. Again I'm not on twitter and don't follow either one.

What's funny is you guys are still talking about this. Which is probably exactly what he wants and he probably just checks this and laughs to himself. His coverage of the Wardle situation was very one sided, but he did his job and peaked interest in a dying industry that is Newspaper. By people talking about what he does you're only encouraging him to keep bringing things up.
