You gotta feel for the guy. Non-compete clause sucks.

I still dont think it's that big of a deal. The Torg is a fat slob and at times he can be annoying, but I dont think he should have been fired for that.

They should move Beau Bishop to take Torg's spot.

Torg's lawyer says that they are exploring Herbsreit's role in his dismissal

Well, I feel for him. And just because he signed the contract takes nothing away from the non-compete clause being shitty.Pick6;1303923 wrote:no you dont. he signed the contract.

Interview from the Lantern. Sounds like he's going after Herbstreit.

Getting lawyers involved will essentially slam the door on the 1% chance he had to get back on the network. About the only thing he can hope for is them to waive his non-compete clause, and perhaps get some severance.End of Line;1304108 wrote:Interview from the Lantern.

I haven't been following this, but is this all because he jokingly said something about a Michigan player dying?

It was the second highest rated sports talk show in the nation. Herbie is behind him being fired.
I will not listen to 97.1 anymore. Tonight instead of listening to the game on my drive home I listened to music and turned the game on once I was home. There are other options out there.

The worst part of this is all the things he offered to do and they still fired him. He was on a show on Cleveland today talking about it. It's just terrible.

i dont get how people think herbie got him fired...he doesnt run 97.1. obviously herbstreet is going to stick up for howard who he works with on a weekly basis, but i doubt he has the power to have someone fired. i could be wrong tho
