Listen closely to his interview.
1) He is leaving broadcasting
2) This was 100% his choice.
3) He is leaving for a new opportunity out of broadcasting.
This has nothing to do with being forced out, or leaving on bad terms or anything. It is absolutely as simple as he was offered a new opportunity.
Rob was the only person on the Fan I ever wanted to listen to doing interviews. He has used his position in such a positive way in this community. His tireless hours of community service. Of doing what he could for this community, and trying to make sure every kid in this city could participate in sport.
There is absolutely no way we should be using his decision to leave broadcasting, and his sign-off, as an opportunity to blast the guy. Have some respect for the man, and what he has done! At the end of the day, he got the opportunity to live a dream for 15 years that any one of us would love to have done (and, I am sure some here think can do better). But, at the end of the day, he did this for 15 years, so he must have done something right. And, this city is a better place for having had him do this job for 15 years.
