Sports Editor -- Strasburg, Va.

I thought you went to Marist?

 

By the looks of my NCAA bracket, you'd think I went to Miami of Ohio.

 

JME isn't a Mizzou grad (West Fuckin Virginia, y'all), but he might as well be. He's seen more than enough crap in Columbia to qualify as one. Thanks a lot, Enique.

To bring this somewhat back on topic, the lucky candidate will get to work with a WVU grad with a full set of teeth. That's rare, I hear.

 

Congrats to Mike. And just to refute Cristiano Ronaldo's point, Finny's isn't just a dive, it's the greatest dive ever. Even if it does make your coat smell like cigarette smoke for a week.

 

if you think finny's is a dive, then you've never been to a dive. finny's is glorious.

 

Nothing but good things to say about their sports operation, having observed it from afar for a while ...

 

As long as you aren't afraid to bust your ass. Design, writing, management crap; you'll be expected to do it all. But you will have plenty of help from a very talented staff.

 

Finny's chips away at your soul, making you less of a person everytime you go back...

 

Thanks to everyone for the kind words about me and our staff. We appreciate it.

For those concerned about moving up in the world, the two sports staffers who have left during my time here are now a lead designer at a mid-size daily in Alabama and an enterprise reporter at a mid-size daily in the D.C. suburbs. And they're talented enough to keep moving up when they're ready to move on.

Strasburg might be a speck on the map, but that doesn't mean our approach to journalism is.

If that isn't enough, you might get the chance to talk to hometown hero Kelley Washington. Doesn't get much bigger than that.

 

I thought the hometown hero was Danni Leigh.

 

Is she still singing? Seems like she's fallen off the map over the last few years. Very, very, very easy on the eyes.

 

I dunno. But not only was she cute but she was very flirty when I met her ... always nice.
