Sports designer, Florence, Ala.

i know for a fact the sports editor pays his debts -- not that he really loses very often.
The shoals is a pretty good place -- cheap to live, nightlife is improving, and north alabama has some of the best looking women in the country.
Also, the big-city life (memphis, nashville, b'ham) is all two hours away. Tunica, for those who like that sort of thing, is three hours. the gulf is 51/2-6 hour drive.

 

Really? Did Julio get replaced?

 

I think -- I know, in fact, you're getting your leg pulled. You probably realize that, too.

 

my sources say response has been luke warm so far. This would be a good starting point for somebody, or a good thing for somebody who wants to move from a smaller daily.

 

See if Flash wants to move from Calgary to Florence... I'm sure the SE won't mind her spending all working hours here...

 

just bumping this back to the first page ... an excellent opportunity to join the fine NYT Regional Group.

 

this needed a bump because time is running short to get that resume in, boys and girls. Football in the deep south is upon us.

 

bump: florence gig still open and available

 

Good source on this opening says the T-D Sports Editor had a highly qualified candidate in for a lunchtime interview today, but any deal fell apart when said Sports Editor refused to pick up the check.

Also heard the guy he was interviewing was demanding 13 weeks of vacation, which is about what he gets at his current gig.

 

Any update on this gig?

I understand one of the leading candidates is from a NYTRNG paper in Florida and his background includes a lengthy stint at one of Alabama's best papers (not the Advertiser-Gleam, though).

 

ESPN is reporting that there are two candidates, but no interviews scheduled as of yet.
It would be a great gig for a young whipper-snapper or a veteran looking for a good area with a low cost of living and cheap beer.

 

What happened to the desk guy who was there? Has he posted bail yet?  ???
