My publication couldn't get credentialed for the '94 World Cup, despite the fact we were an hour as the crow flies from the Rose Bowl. The two events I always wanted to cover were the Masters and the Olympics.

 

I soothe my bruised ego by telling myself that I didn't have to sit through the traffic to go to all these events.

About the only cool things I get to cover are a handful of Big 10 football games each year, a charity dirt track race with NASCAR drivers and state high school football.

But I don't sit in traffic!

 

I've only been doing this for 10 years. I've been doing NASCAR for the better part of five years, off and on. I literally have no idea what I've covered on THAT BEAT ALONE, let alone remember everything I covered before.

You guys are freaking me out.

 

Ditto, but I'm happy with the small stuff. Some people like the small ponds.

 

Since Mizzou has covered everything, I think this thread exists to massage his ego.

 

At this point I'd take the fucking stream behind the church where I used to shoot hoops as a kid.

 

I think I've covered four rodeos at this point.
