    Whiny amateur who will be stuck in a small market all his life.
    I've seen that show, he throws out more one-liners and smarmy, snarky bs in 10 minutes than in any hour of SC.
    Oh, and you make fun of ESPN's gimmicks:
    Who is J-ho?
    Fraud.

    Hi there,

    This is the soon-to-be sweater selling, whiny amateur fraud who wrote a little something about ESPN.

    First, it was a goof. Our blog is about 2 months old and gets very little traffic. Basically the only people that look at it work here. This isn't an excuse, I realize these intwerwebs are all connected. But I never thought it would get this much notice. This attention should just about blow it up.

    I wrote it after a lousy show filled with technical problems and mixups(although it seems markvid seemed to like it). My frustration wasn't helping ESPN. I've sent them, or CNN or CBS video in the past.

    My frustration was how they asked for the help.
    We're a department of 2 that fills 40 minutes of local sports on Saturdays. I tried to explain that to the producer, but that didn't stop her repeated calls, or request for a re-feed while I was on-air (it was a fiber feed, so there were no audio or satellite issues, she just wanted me to get her better looking video)

    anyway, looking forward to more career critiques from bitter mid-market interns. (i kid) And at least I found this board as a result. Good times.

    (oh, and j-ho is Justin Horowitz, the other member of our department. He's referred to himself as J-ho on the blog. It's a joke. Sorry for the confusion.)
