Odessa American sports writer

If this were a job to cover Permian football, you are required to cheer in the pressbox and always put a positive spin on your copy.

 

who requires that?

 

The guy who does odessapermian.com and a few other extreme nutcases.

You've got to wonder about a middle-aged man who spends most of his free time shooting video footage of teenage boys to post on a Web site. In some places, that gets you arrested.

 

Yeah some of those independent prep site guys can be pretty creepy. It can be worse, I had a stringer once that said he was a sports editor at a small paper when he was younger, but he insisted on only doing girls sports. It was great at first, but it got creepy in a hurry.

 

Aaaaaaaaaand this job has been filled.

 

by the creepy girls-only guy?

Well, then, damn -- congrats, tom.
