Your Barreiro Firing Leader
We bring you now continuing coverage of the departure of Dan Barreiro from the Star Tribune (cue solemn orchestral score composed last night specifically for this story). Reader Salsa and Eggs does the solo lambada on Barreiro’s journalistic grave with this account of the man’s performance as a sports commentator. You can’t make stuff like this up:
Dan Barriero is my flashback when listening to the radio in the car, just because I need a half cup of negativity per day for this diet. Last spring I was fortunate enough to catch an episode where he couldn't remember how the Twins finished 2002. Maybe his boss at the Trib added something like "Follow local professional teams" on his Individual Development Plan, and with no effort made it was hatchet time.
Or maybe it is a right-wing conspiracy?
Amen Brother!!
Coming from a guy named "Salsa and Eggs" I think you have to trust the veracity of the report. And with a name like "Salsa and Eggs" it's hard to believe this guy's not a blogger. If he ever does jump into the ring, I'll guarantee a link if he adopts the following tag line:
"Whipping the news into a delicate froth, then adding the zip!"
