    You don't think Shawn Ray leaving MD after 10 years is newsworthy or worth an interview?

    Of course it is, but not everyone shares your enthusiasm for Shawn Ray, or even cares.

    I don't care either.

    Dave will try to get an interview but I doubt that he will accept.

    I'm not sure "enthusiasm" is the right word , respect probably is more accurate .
    respect at the mans accomplishments in my chosen sport and admiration of his no bs approach even if he seems to have character traits I find less than savoury .

    you may not care about this thread , that's absolutely fine , I put it up for those that do .

    I have a lot respect for Shawn and his accomplishments as a bodybuilder. It ends there.

    I have no issues with the thread.

    He said he peaked, that he's going to reinvent himself but continue to provide bodybuilding coverage.

    I wonder if he's going to show up on another site soon. I won't miss him on MD forums, but no one can deny his legend status on stage as a competitor.

    Might be fun to read the rumors of why he actually left.

    Agreed on all counts there!

    LOL :-) He thanked Blechman and the fans.

    But, yeah, this.

    I'd like to see it just so we can see Dave get him back for the interview where McGough told Dave to piss off.

    Would like to see him on digitalmuscle or start his own thing. Huge loss for MD. I am not fan of Shawn but he was essential to their coverage and many people respected him. It's gonna be tough for MD to find a replacement

    I don't doubt that recent additions to their free lance editorial staff, no names required, might have helped to hammer the final nail in the coffin.
