What's terrifying is that for all of EJ's flaws, there are/were much, much worse recruiting reporters out there. Taylor Hamm and James Hale were 247 employees at one point.

Why does he feel the need to burn every bridge at 247? It's fucking weird. Moving somewhere because your wife has a good med school placement is totally normal and fine.

he is entitled millennial, hear him roar!

“This was MY decision.”  

Lulz, now I think he actually was fired - by the organization that keeps Chip Brown around despite embarrassing himself on ESPN with made up stories and actively undermining the recruiting of the school he covers.  Quite an achievement.  And I would not have thought that if he just graciously left and started his new job.  

Burton gave him a better story for leaving than this crap he’s coming up with on his own.   You set the record straight, EJ!  Don’t let 247 disrespect you by making people think you’re professional and have a normal family life! 

What an idiot.  Is he just pissed at 247, or is he also so insecure he doesn’t want people to think his wife (with actual career prospects) makes the decisions about where they live?  “Nah, it wasn’t because of her dumb medical school!  This is all solely about my great career opportunity!”

The best part is the "Tired of being complacent and an environment without expectations." In other words, he's not a self-starter and he needs to be directly managed. Get in line to hire this guy, fellas.

I'm just spitballin' here, but could it possibly be... do you think... maybe he's just a dickhead?

What a moron...why burn bridges at 247 for no reason, especially shitting on management who handled everything diplomatically. He has more Hamm in him than I thought

Expand  

Honestly, tweeting out that Ketch is the GOAT is probably the most offensive thing to Burton of all of them.

It's obviously poor form and really dumb.

But I also kind of totally love it.

Listen dude. Im not an EJ hater. But i think its a hell of a coincidence  that just after he starts doing this other 7 on 7 stuff he gets sideways with 247. 

And you cant say EJ is handling this correctly/professionally. 

Whether he was outright fired for taking the outside work, or he got sand in his vagina and quit, hes making it obvious there was a problem and there seems to be bad blood . On EJs part at least. 

 So deny these scenarios all you like, because the facts dont fit the  " he just decided to move on" idea.

I'm telling you factually that he wasn't fired, didn't get in trouble, wasn't encouraged to look around, or anything. It was 100% his side. 

I don't like him, but you guys are tilting at windmills

This. He wasn’t fired.

Honestly, him being a petulant bitch for zero reason is funnier than it having an actual motive.

Maybe he thinks it wouldn't be cool and "finesse" to admit his wife has the job that matters in the family.

Qualifying this with I don't like EJ because I think he's annoying as fuck and I don't like how he caters to the sketchy parties of college football recruiting, and I think it's amazingly stupid to burn a bridge with probably the top company in an industry without many options to work, but he had reason for being a petulant bitch here. Should he have acted like a grownup and rather than a scorned fifteen year old girl? Absolutely. But to be clear, he wasn't fired, and he didn't shit on 247 for no reason.

Let's hope this is the end of EJ, he does not deserve this much attention. We upgraded by having Mike & Clint on the recruiting beat IMO. 

IMO, he will wear out his Irish welcome pretty quickly just like he did here. He's not passionate about the school, it'll show in his work. Only a matter of time before he starts telling us about the hidden gems he discovered while at a coffee shop in St. Joes. He hated Austin, can't wait to see what he thinks of the shit hole that is South Bend or how he is treated on the streets/riding the metro of Chicago. Fuck that guy.

If you have a job, then you have potential reasons to be a petulant bitch... on the condition, of course, that you are the sort of person who lacks enough maturity and discipline to avoid being petulant and bitchy.

I don't know what happened to/towards/around/with him, and I don't care. Suck it up, bitch-tits, and be a man. Not everything goes your way on the job. Boo-hoo.

EJ's going to love Chicago because it's Chicago. It has the big name recognition that, shitty or not, appeals to someone that felates and purchases $400 T shirts and leases a mercedes 3 series thinking he's the fucking balls. Cognitive dissonance is amazing. That clown could end up abandoning his lease and riding the bus while living in Cabrini Green and he'd still tell anyone who cares to listen how amazing and superior Chicago is to anywhere on the planet. He's probably already personally designing the Chicago Bulls/Cubs coat of arms tattoo he's going to get tramped on his lower back in the coming months and reading about the history of Chicago since it will be the place he's always been destined to live in greatness, and he's going to have to be armed with the facts to shout that from the rooftops.

did he? there were 247 posters asking why he wasn't posting much and thinking about cancelling if he was gone. I'm not saying they weren't ignorant idiots, but I'm sure ND has their fair share of those as well.

Ha! I'm glad I found the EJ post-mortem thread. It provides clear context to why he was rogue on twitter by building his own brand, and not that of his $9.95 employer.

EJ's schtick did not bother me - his periscope q&a's were good, and he did post alot of video of reps wherever he was.

Roach and Buckley on twitter are a bore. Open to suggestions of who else to follow.
