    Great job. Great paper. I might even go as far as to say the best hometown paper in the SEC.

    Drew is good people and has landed a good gig. Phil is good people and knows his stuff. This newspaper covers the Vols hard, both online and in print. This new hire will get some in-house help as well as from Nashville. All part of the recent content-sharing agreement.

    What about Bryan Mullen? He's got two years under his belt covering UT for The Tennessean, and they pulled him off the beat a couple months ago with this content-sharing deal. Mully's a nice writer.

    You mention the term "great boss." I'm not familiar with the term.

    I've only worked for jerks and career lightweights.

    And does Drew have a last name or is he a South American soccer player? And what is Drew's new gig?

    A simple google search will produce his name. As for his new job, I'll let the said Drew or someone else share his news. As a friend, I respect his privacy. He's just fine.

    Fair enough, Quagmire. I'll google the dude since I never heard of him (or her, since I know there's at least one female in the world with the name Drew). Thanks.

    Add me to the list of people extremely happy for Drew. Dude has busted his ass since the day I met him.

    ***

    Newspapers are losing another really good reporter and writer.

    Well, I've always thought Knoxville was a great place to live.

    As for Drew, per these comments, I'm now very curious as to what his new job is, so maybe someone will share. But congrats to him as it seems to be something pretty good.

    Drew is leaving the paper to join the University of Tennessee's athletic department. He'll be working under the A.D. in the role of Assistant Director of Internet Communications (or something of that sort). Essentially, he'll be producing stories, etc., for the school's Web site.
    It's a hell of a gig, and again, I wish him public congrats.
