Columbus Pizza guy fired over alleged comment about Ohio State

((abc6onyourside.com))

Hmmmm....

It appears a Columbus, Ohio pizza delivery guy is unemployed after he made a somewhat ill-timed, poorly thought joke about Ohio State's defense to a customer.

That customer: The wife of Ohio State defensive coordinator Luke Fickell.

And apparently....according to the genius delivery guy, Ms. Fickell called and complained about the comments. She apparently didn't.

According to Ohio State, he made some sort of comment to her that was overheard by someone who said something to the manager. (It wasn't Ms. Fickell). The manager followed up with her and she gave an honest answer. The manager summarily fired the guy.

According to tOSU, the Fickell's feel badly about the guy getting fired.

They shouldn't.

They SHOULD be upset that WSYX reported this story without knowing everything that happened. And portraying the delivery guy as a victim. He's not.

WSYX-TV doesn't have an embeddable video player, so to watch the story, you'll have to click on a link to it RIGHT HERE

Several parts of this story are...well...a bit odd. First off. Is the doofus delivery dork really that stupid that he'd make a random comment like that to a customer? And apparently, he knew who it was.

Wait a minute. I know the answer to that question.

And then he goes on TV to complain about it. Shows his face...but doesn't give his name.

Really?

Our guess, and it's a safe one, is that the dumb ass thought he was being funny or was trying to show off to his co-workers. Sorry, that is never a good itda.

Sure, it sucks the dumb ass lost his job....but Karma...paging Mr. Karma....

Reports: Urban Meyer agrees to deal with Ohio State

((ht: wkmg/clickorlando.com))

Urban Meyer

We pass this story on with the caveat that the source (WKMG-TV) has been very wrong about such things before...but this does make some sense.

WKMG sports reports that the agreement in principle that was first reported this past Friday by SportsbyBrooks.com and ElevenWarriors.com is for a pretty big contract.

The TV stations sports director, Dave Pingalore says its 7-years, $40 million.

Read the entire story RIGHT HERE 

By the way, Eleven Warriors is reporting that a guy named Bill Greene of Scout.com says it is also a done deal too.

What does this all mean? It means Urban Meyer will be in Columbus next season. It means that Urban Meyer took a year off because he wanted his dream job. He's got it. The folks in Gainesville aren't real happy, but they'll get over it.

All reports say that Meyer will be announced early next week and will retain interim coach Luke Fickell as his top assistant.

SportsbyBrooks also says Meyer is making the rounds, reaching out to former tOSU football players and telling them he's taking the job and looking for input on possible assistants.

Congratulations Ohio State, you got your man. Despite the potential of a "USC"-like penalty coming from the NCAA, you've got someone that will make you better and make you more competitive with the SEC teams.

You can celebrate now.
