Message: [QUOTE="YKCornelius, post: 4689832, member: 9864"] Fairfield Fan, nothing I have read in any of JJ's recent articles, or from his Twitter account, would suggest that HCM fired him, or that HCM made the call not to renew his contract. Can you provide any reference from which you base that conclusion? Interestingly, when one goes to the CT Post to review his past articles, the following is presented under his picture: "Jeff Jacobs is a former columnist with Hearst Connecticut Media Group. Jeff is a 10-time Connecticut Sports Writer of the Year and four times has been honored by the Associated Press Sports Editors as one of the top-10 columnists in the country. Jeff’s passion for local sports runs the gamut from high school athletics to UConn basketball — he has covered all four UConn men’s championships and 10 of the 11 women’s titles. He’s also covered multiple Olympics, World Series and Super Bowls. Along the way, he has demonstrated a zeal for the big scoop and a finely honed ability to convey essential human tales that resonate far beyond the sports world." It certainly doesn't convey the feeling that he was fired by HCM. It reads more like the inside sleeve to an upcoming book on the Connecticut and/or national sports scene, or like a university brochure touting the bona fides of a new adjunct professor of Journalism. I would appreciate you shining some light on the situation, please and thank you. [/QUOTE]
