"Dwightmare" ebook by Schmitz

[OrlandO]

Also, I can't think of any catchy Orlando songs that would be a viable alternative

Dwight's Arnold impersonation is horrible...

Keep your dirty laundry private. Reconciliation is impossible when everyone knows your business. Great job Orlando Sentinel and B. Schmitz for making it even tougher to keep Dwight. It's appropriate that Brian Schmitz's initials are B.S.!

I bought the book: it was only €2.00

Something for my next holiday (as I know the story). Already I can say that the writing style is not a news story.

You paid €2.00 too much...

Is there a way to collectively put our thoughts together to get Schmitz and Bianchi fired?

Why? They are paid for opinion pieces and they give them.

if any pro athlete uses the local paper as an excuse for leaving, they are lying to you and using it as a convenient excuse. If you let a paper drive you out you are mentally weak as hell.

Do I want them blasting the local superstar constantly, not really, but they dont need to kiss ass either.

Unfortunately, they're amateur writers masquerading as professionals in a single-paper town... their opinions are often crap and poorly constructed, but their jobs are secure because the OS doesn't strive to be better. It doesn't help that both of them have annoying personalities.

Me personally, it was definately worth the $5.00 to buy.

It had a lot of interesting stories and it was definately a "page turner"

I didn't buy the book, but the outcome of the Howard saga appears to be nearing an end.

I'm sure there are many tidbits of actions within the organization, but really....it all seems like water under the bridge at this point......time to move on.

But what about all the positives he did for the community this season? What about the good things he did for the franchise? I'm sure that stuff doesn't see a shred of light.

It does, but te Sentinel tends to bury it. Dwight does amazing things for the charitable organizations in the community.

I was at an event this year - I think maybe it was the UCP fundraiser - when they announced that, while Dwight couldn't be at the event, he made a $10,000 donation. Same thing happened at a Florida Hospital event where he made a $10,000 commitment as well. The guy gives a lot of himself to the community.

It's easy to dismiss those numbers as small change to a guy making nearly $20 Million per year, but those are huge numbers to local charities. So he may want to be moved or he a not, he may have pissed off his teammates or not, but over the years he's done a great job of building up the community and supporting local charities, and last year was no exception.

I hear he also gives out large monthly checks to multiple young women in NBA towns. His largess penetrates, unsheathed, into the Orlando community.

Ahhh yeah I hate this guy. He sucks as a reporter my goodness. Not saying I could do his job, but somebody can.

Because they're trying trash his image even more, when there's a lot of false things in that book. The 'New York New York' was the worst
