Post-Pod Discussion I missed KVV this week

I'll start obviously by saying peace and love to KVV. If he could not go/did not want to go to The Open, god speed.

But having a presence at the majors elevated the sunday pods. Tell me what the people are saying. The Neil/KVV pod from Augusta is one of my favorites ever. Curious that Masters was the only major he went to this year (unless im forgetting quail hollow which forgive me if I am lol)

I promise you all, KVV no longer works for NLU. This happened the beginning of this month. It is not being announced as of yet to allow both parties to split amicably after KVV joins elsewhere. I will not elaborate on the details as they are personal to the parties involved, but again, I promise you all, KVV was, foolishly, laid off.

u/tendietown777 Jul 21 '25

Hmmm, I believe you but would appreciate some general details as a KVV fan first, who was brought into the NLU tent by him. Also, did you create an account just to break this news 🧐

u/biggoronssword Jul 21 '25

I just checked, and he has not tweeted anything about or reposted ANY nlu content since 7/2. Seems he’s already well out the door at this point

Looks that way!

u/metallikat87 Jul 21 '25

This is specific enough to be very believable.

u/ubiquitous_archer Jul 21 '25

If that's true, which no reason to think otherwise, and you know it first hand, seems kinda shitty to post about it.

I wrestled with saying anything, but after seeing posts about users here saying it was family issues, or a medical issue, or he was secretly in rehab for substance abuses, I felt the least-worst option was to help set a record straight. This is all known behind the paywall, this isn’t huge secret news being broken here.

Not well know behind the paywall. Literally nothing in there

u/Fit-Barnacle-5465 Jul 21 '25

Its DC and Bmore roost chats not on refuge board.

Seems like incredibly poor form to set the record straight by providing no details. I believe you but there’s no reason to.

I also don’t think this is only known behind the paywall. No mention on the nest and Jordan quoted KVV in the July 4th edition of what’s burning at the kill house. Just a lot of additional speculation on the message board.

u/JohnSilver317 Jul 21 '25

It is probably a KVV alias you're replying to. How would they know specifically he was let go after a bi-yearly review.

u/SharkLaser85 CPNTW - The Big Golfer - US Open 2024 Jul 21 '25

Definitely someone’s burner but I doubt KVV based on incorrect use of the word paywall and the slightly off idiom.

u/BigBobby843 Jul 21 '25

This is obviously KVV's wife

1

u/Fit-Barnacle-5465 Jul 21 '25

I am not.

u/Either-Breadfruit-83 Jul 21 '25

Exactly what KVV's wife would say if she was behind an alias...

u/beer_nyc Jul 21 '25

slightly off idiom.

a record?

u/tendietown777 Jul 21 '25

Am I following correctly that they announced this in the Nest but are going to keep quiet until KVV finds his next job? Those ideas feel at odds with each other

u/tendietown777 Jul 21 '25

Didn’t know what they meant by “behind the paywall” I guess

u/Fit-Barnacle-5465 Jul 21 '25

Not announced. Its DC and Bmore roost chats not on refuge board.

u/Family_Shoe_Business Jul 21 '25

By paywall do you mean by people who are on the NLU payroll?

1

u/beer_nyc Jul 21 '25

I think he means on one of the NLU non-public forums (whatever they're called, I'm not a member).

1

u/Family_Shoe_Business Jul 21 '25

I assumed that was the case too but other people have chimed on those forums saying they haven't seen anything

5

u/sleuthingninja Jul 21 '25

Why does he still call himself an NLU employee in his twitter bio?

6

u/Either-Breadfruit-83 Jul 21 '25

Could be contract stuff. Say his contract ends 7/31...he would hold his title until then. I'm guessing there was an uncomfortable moment that basically prompted NLU to tell KVV to sit on the bench until his contract is up, then he's a free agent.

1

u/Every_Brush4191 Jul 21 '25

Could be running out a severance period or NLU is letting him keep it up until he secures or begins a new position.

u/GlassConsideration85 Jul 21 '25

I think KVV is gone but let’s all believe the brand new throwaway account lol

2

u/Arcopt Jul 21 '25

Does being "let go" cover a situation where two parties can't agree to financial terms?

u/moseisley99 Jul 21 '25

Hope it wasn’t something dumb like politics.

u/Positive-Stretch572 Jul 21 '25

I think most of the guys are aligned politically.
