The bastard that beat me out for the NY Times internship...

is pretty damn good. I hate to say it, but that Teddy Kider is probably better than me. Fuck.

With the NYT, do you apply specifically for a sports internship, or do you go through their general application process?

 

I applied for the sports internship. Would've been fun.

 

Only two of you applied?

 

A whole lot more than two applied. More like 800 I think they said. I was down to the final cuts. Damn.

 

right. 799 of you finished second. damn!!

 

Is this really a groundbreaking advance or whatever? I mean, it's not all mangled, so props to this guy for that, but is it worth posting?
News flash: Someone hired by the NYTimes can put together a sentence!

 

I don't even think it's a particularly good story, to be honest. You can tell it's a new guy writing.

 

Yeah but dammit, you're good enough to work a the Plain-Dealer.

 

Which makes you better than Ace already.

So you got that going for you, which is nice. ;D

 

wow! that w.n.b.a. sounds exciting. I agree with others tho, you can tell it's written by a young writer.

 

That was my first thought. It shows potential because he catches a great moment from a coach, but it definitely loses steam after that.
