    It's a fun atmosphere. Now shut up and get back to your play-by-play duties.
     
  4. Writing, photos and play-by-play, all at 110 percent and for 20K per year. In Nebraska during winter. Wow.

    I rather enjoyed the ad on the website that says "Don't overwork your spouse. Let our washing machines do the dirty work."

    I suppose that it says "spouse" is actually a sign of progress.

    So if I'm only willing to put in 109.43 percent, I won't be hired?
