The last rational voice gone

[Kaos]

Kevin Scarbinsky is leaving al.com and the newspaper business as a whole.  Will be working for the Brunos Golf Tournament.  Brunos is closely aligned with UA, so in effect he was bought off.

Scarbinsky could be a pain, but he at least made the effort to be fair.  His was the one and only voice at that pile of garbage al.com you could count on to see positives when it comes to Auburn. His was the only voice that ever gave any praise -- faint as it might sometimes be. 

Everybody else on that site writes like it's a fanblog. Our beatwriters are relentlessly negative and constantly looking for something to criticize (see today's 'Carlton Davis decided not to play, Gus lied about it' entry as exhibit a).

His take on things will be missed.   Without him to provide some modicum of balance, al.com will veer completely into being the promotional arm of all things Alabama.

Meh.

Being the best of a shittastic bunch doesn't get him any kudos from me.

Believe me, you do not have to tell me this. I know.

He was the only thing remotely close to fair and did so under constant pressure to skew harder the other way.  He was the only one in that whole cesspool who didn't take unwarranted shots at us -- and that includes our own beatwriters. 

It's only going to get worse.

Negative eleventeen for not recognizing a blatantly obvious hijack of a perfectly good thread through the use of obscure movie quotes.  Bailiff, whack his pee pee.

No. No. No. No.

And BTW, I'll miss Skrabdishki as well.  He could make your blood boil when he came at your home boys and sometimes, he was overreaching.  His slap on Chizik's hand for saying War DAMN Eagle bordered on the reedonkulus.  But as was said above, I think the guy was fair.  How many times did we try and warn him after a particular piece, that walking up the stairs could be hazardous to his health?

No argument to be had. Auburn needed him to set the record straight many times and he got it right more than we could have hoped in this state.
