The Reporter Fired For the “Bull**** And Laziness” Article Now Makes More Money Working At The Water Plant
Last month, we posted an excerpt from the Rayne (Louisiana) Independent, where the reporter responsible for providing season statistics for girl’s softball included the line “unfortunately no stats were available due to the coach’s bull**** and laziness.”
Jim Romenesko has been all over this story, and has this update today–the writer of that excerpt has now found a job making more money at the water treatment plant. The reporter, Kade Seibold, was fired in the aftermath of that incident. Seibold told Romenesko that “if the Rayne Independent called and offered me my job back, I wouldn’t take it.”

It was worth it before he got a new job.

Wait, are you telling me there is greater demand for water treatment than writing about girl’s softball?

“unfortunately no stats were available due to the coach’s bull**** and laziness.”
I can understand not saying ‘bullshit’ in the headline, but you include the article with the word ‘bullshit’ right next to this quotation. Was it necessary to block out ‘bullshit’ in the body?

Water treatment is a growth industry in Louisiana.

my hands are too sensitive to work in water treatment, and wasn’t sure how the overlords would respond.

Seibold is a pretty versatile guy. Good he has other skills. I’d like Peter King to go into another line of work.

Peter King second career recommendations:
Guatemalan Drug Mule
Alaskan Crab Fisherman
Newspaper editor/Police Officer Juárez, Mexico

From the SI Vault yesterday. I think Peter King should be an accountant or in the US Coast Guard because he looks an awful lot like George Wendt there.

So this guy was the Japanese translator of Jimmy James’s memoirs?

You sure he wasn’t fired for shitty grammar?
Hailey Habetz had great year on the mound…
Unless he’s Asian? “Me love you long time.” “She had great year on mound.”

Glorious sunset of my heart was fading. Soon the super karate monkey death car would park in my space. But Jimmy has fancy plans, and pants to match.

I’ll be goddamned if I allow Peter King in my profession.
