Rumor control: Jason Reid to the Washington Post?

A non-sports friend of mine in the business sent me an e-mail saying that Jason Reid was going to the Post from the L.A. Times to cover the Redskins and asking if that was a coup.

Anybody know if this is indeed the case?

 

thebiglead had this info within the past couple of days; it was mentioned on the damon hack to SI thread.

but yes, this is true.

 

I think we had this on the Damon Hack thread... Needless to say, it appears to be true...

 

Beat me by 14 seconds... ;D

 

A coup for who?

 

That might be the most brutal beat in professional sports...

 

Sorry, all. Been away a few days -- up in the Alexandria/D.C. area, coincidentally -- and missed it on the other thread.

 

If you succeed on that beat you'll be at SI or ESPN within a few years, but I would imagine that covering the Skins for the WP would be a colossal pain in the ass given the relationship between Snyder and the paper...

 

Jason just became a daddy, hope he isn't distracted on a new beat.

 

Tough period for NYT: Deputy sports editor Kristin Huckshorn bolts for ESPN and now Hack. The latter might be missed more, from what I hear.

 

The paper is by no means a colossal pain in the ass.

Snyder, on the other hand...

 

That's what I meant... Garcia-Ruiz is a great SE.

But that is a volatile relationship between the paper and the team...
