Sports columnist Rob Oller is now "on the record" as the newest colleague in our weekly series featuring Columbus Dispatch journalists and their work in our community. Rob has worked at the Dispatch since July 1995, and you have likely come across a column (or two) of his, heard his voice during a team press conference, or even seen him in the background during a coach/player interview after a big game.
