    Best game story writers

    I'll third Andy McCullough. Thought his gamer from last night's Jays-Royals game was excellent, as well.

    This was a "featured job" on JJ?

    Good because you won't be able to afford gas for a further trip.

    Spencer Hall's "Broke"

    I agree completely. Spencer's piece isn't so much, "Here is how we should fix college athletics," and more, "Being poor is bad in a way that people who don't experience it can't imagine, and yet we allow the NCAA and college athletics programs enrich themselves while keeping a lot of these guys...

    The New York Daily News cover on Va. shootings

    Drugs and alcohol can cause physiological addiction. I don't think guns do. Whenever I see or hear people make this argument, I have the same response: You're right. You're right that stricter gun laws won't end gun deaths in America. Zero is a pipe dream. But what if it cuts gun deaths by a...

    State of the business is dismal, as we know, and yet ...

    Exactly this. A good chunk of fans are going to read whatever they see on their Twitter feeds first. Oh, the local paper's column on today's game is behind a paywall? I'll just read SBNation or Fansided's take on the game.

    Recent college grad seeking advice on job hunting
