"Should I stay or should I go?"

Just when you thought that Lino's whole contract negotiation drama couldn't get dragged out any further, we get this gem from Lino's Facebook page this morning:

Lino Rulli has to announce today if I'm renewing my contract or not. Honestly, I have no idea. I'm as curious as everyone else to find out what I say. (Sorry to have dragged this out. I decided over the weekend that I'm quitting; now people are making me second guess my decision and I'm torn again...)

Up until today, Lino Watch was convinced that Lino was going to re-up, regardless of his protestations of indecisiveness. He's led us down this path before with previous re-ups, so we're suffering from a little bit of a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" complex right now. He's also got his new gig on New Evangelization Television, and as much as he likes to do independent TV work, having his radio show to fall back on if/when times get tough isn't a bad idea. But there's something a bit different about this at the moment that we can't put our finger on. Perhaps that fact the he had actually decided to leave the show before pulling back? We're not quite sure.

Here's Lino Watch's position: we may not like you as much, but we want you to stick around. We wouldn't be running this fan site for the twelve people who visit it if we didn't think you had something great going. You annoy the h-e-double-hockey-sticks out of us sometimes, but you also show us that being Catholic doesn't have to mean living a solemn, boring existence. How many people have you brought back to the Church in the last three years? How many people have you brought into the Church? Is that worth walking away from? Well, it's not for us to decide. You and the Holy Spirit have to work this out… and you two have about five hours left to do it.

Besides, what are we at Lino Watch going to do with all of our spare time? We may have to start "Gus Watch" now to keep us occupied. "We like Gus Lloyd… just not as much"?? That just sounds bizarre. Don't make us do this!
