@Bobstambaze I listened to the title game on there!

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

If only there was someone to cover what Northfield softball did this week. Ah, well, nevertheless

Congrats Norse on a hell of a week and a sectional title.

This is also probably the last time I’ll be logging onto this account. Moving in a few weeks. You can follow me @JacobRude. Or don’t. It won’t hurt my feelings.

@addi16baker I’ll definitely miss watching you guys. You guys still owe me at least one semi-state game 😉. I might have to stop in for a game this year some time.

Received word today that I will not be going back to the Plain Dealer. Not a surprise but an odd and weird way to end my time with the paper, though not much is normal in the current world. So allow me some time to say a couple things

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

@jordan_bratch Appreciate you kiddo

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

@eterrell14 It was easy covering golf: drive out onto the course, find some shade, take a nap for a few hours, drive back to country club and see the results

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

@Kgebbs_ Thank you!! Hope you guys are doing well!

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

@EvaBazzoni Keep an eye out and you may see me on a sideline taking pictures if I ever get bored

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

@squireathletics I’ll never be able to turn down free food

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

If you guys want, you can follow me @JacobRude as this account will basically be done. Again, thank you all ❤️

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

As for me, I’ll be fine. I don’t know what the next stop is yet but I know I’ll always be exactly where I’m supposed to be. Maybe I’ll stop by at a sporting event or two this year as a spectator. Maybe I’ll yell at the refs just to see what it’s like for once.

No person helped me get a grasp on sports in the county more than Gary. I can’t count the amount of questions I bugged him with over the last five years. Won’t be the same not having him on the sidelines going forward. Thanks for all the help and enjoy the fishing and hunting!

[Gary Andrews @wcosports]

I announced yesterday on the radio that I have officially retired. Thank you everyone for the amazing support through the years. The website is not dead however. More details coming!!

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

Here's the link to listen https://t.co/zQx7i1NQh9

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

Going to be on the radio with @Bobstambaze this evening from 5-6 pm on 105.9. You're literally not doing anything so you have no excuse not to listen. Just stop binging Tiger King or Grey's Anatomy or The Office for a bit.

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

Blown away by all of you that have reached out or replied to this with your kind words. You all are amazing people.

Like I said, I’m not sure what the future will hold. If you want to keep up with me, feel free to follow my personal account @JacobRude

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

Well, some not fun news. I was laid off today from the Plain Dealer today due to the COVID-19 situation. Not sure when or if I'll be back with the company

[Jacob Rude @ReporterRude]

Not exactly how I planned on going out and it may not be permanent. But I won't be around much for the coming months as a result while this coronavirus situation plays out.
