Breaking News


Athens--During the week, the Off the Record Board of Directors conducted its year-end meetings at the Sandals Beach Resort in Jamaica. In addition to enjoying the robust buffet and numerous on-site watersports opportunities, Off the Record left the meeting with some big news to report.

If you'll remember back to OTR's infancy, we had a promising young writer named Ryan Lavner on staff. Due to creative differences (I was creative, he wasn't), Lavner and OTR agreed to part ways. Lavner went on to co-found Two Guys, One Blog with Jordan Backs. After Backs opted out of the blog for a career in modeling, Lavner was left to fend for himself.

However, we here at OTR thoroughly enjoy Lavner's analysis and writing ability. He is a talented writer and a half-decent human.

With that being said, we are pleased to announce that Lavner will be rejoining the OTR team, effective immediately. Lavner's new contract is good through 2011, paying him $2.4 million per year with incentives for good columns.

Along with the phenom that is Bill Kitson, OTR looks to be formidable for years to come.

Lavner will be issuing a press release through his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, some time during the weekend.

Please, if you think Lavner sucks, tell us. We will be glad to kick him back out on his backside.

Stay tuned for more on this late-breaking development.

lavner sucks, please dont do that to this blog. This is like Cinci getting rid of Travis Henry and then resigning him days later.
