Sports reporters/Food

I was expecting a thread about what they feed The Dwarf, Loopy and the rest of the boys on Sunday mornings in Time Square.

 

No real story other than when the food breaks out at Michigan events, the Michigan Daily staff comes out of the woodwork. I distinctly remember a hockey game at Yost Ice Arena, turning to another reporter and saying "Hey, how many Daily reporters does it take to cover a hockey game?" "Four, one to write the gamer and (turning my head to the last body who rambled up the staircase to the loft -- who happened to be Rich Eisen) three to eat the hot dogs."

 

That was funny until I realized that was my college paper on the rare nights the basketball SID sprung for paella.

 

That sounds about right. During college it was usually college-aged editors or reporters who never left the newsroom who waxed on about ethical traps like a slice of pizza.

 

What about getting free massages courtesy of the NFL during the Super Bowl?

 

i never understood how guys can eat this huge pre-game meal and then go right back to the buffet a couple hours later and gorge themselves on a giant halftime spread

dude

you just fucking ate. you can't be hungry again.

but if it's free, scribes will pile it on, hungry or not, edible or not

pretty vile

 

To me, it's a basic need. I eat at a game because I need to eat and because I'm going to be missing dinner by working.

Should we pay for using the toilet?

 

This needs to be restated. No matter what side of the ethics/how it looks debate one falls on.

 

All this talk about ethics and whatnot could be allayed if employers just paid us all competitive wages.

You don't want us to eat at a pregame spread? Then cough up the coin. Otherwise, STFU while I go fill my plate.

Next thing you know, you're going to want me to sell ads like one of those Berkshire Beacon loosers bootstrappers.

 

Which will get you popped for a $201 ticket on Interstate 35 in Itasca, Texas. Go Wampus Cats!

 

Don't put a political sign in your front yard, though!!

 

Did George send you another e-mail?
