Promoted to Assistant Sports Editor

 

Other than Dodgers beat writer, this is my dream job.

 

Well, what are you waiting for? Go get it.

 

No, PE, you're supposed to say


YOU'RE HIRED!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm not their type.

In a different world I would've applied.

 

This is when I wish I had more college sports experience. Now THIS would be a job I could sink my teeth into every day.

 

man, there are some great jobs available out there. kinda odd that so many are popping up right before the season starts.

 

This job is going to get someone some serious clips when the you-know-what hits the fan when the NCAA starts digging deeper into the football program.

 

Are great clips what someone goes to this job looking for? Seems like a potential destination job to me.

 

I'd think your clips would have to be pretty good to land this gig in the first place.
