Job opportunity at Gannett | USA TODAY NETWORK - Sports Reporter

 

Where America's Day begins ... and "Sunday Night Football" is overnight programming on Monday.

 

"Experience developing a personal brand and fan base."


Do you get to sell subscriptions also?

 

It's more like brunchtime football (14 hours ahead of the East Coast). And forget about watching those 1 p.m. games.

 

Looks to me as if the paper needs to hire a good copy editor for that ad.

 

It's Gannett.

 

If Puerto Rico becomes the 51st state, Guam will be the 52nd to balance it out. Very military and very conservative.

 

When my brother, a Navy dermatologist, was preparing for his first time being stationed overseas, the only place he dreaded was Guam.

Fortunately, he got Yokosuka, Japan.
