Okay, so I get to work today, and I've got an angry email from my editor wondering why I'm interviewing for other jobs without conferring with him first. Turns out, this other paper I simply did a feeling-out phone interview with had called up my editor without even asking if that was okay...

No matter what, I'm thrilled that Mike Tirico isn't working these games, especially cuz I know it probably irritates the crap out of that subtly arrogant *******. It still pisses me off that Tirico has one of the prime sports radio gigs in America. He's the most uptight, boring, and overrated...

Rumor has it interviews are starting this week. If you want to make a last-ditch effort, you'd best email your resume/clips. I believe the editor's name is Doug Newhoff. You'd have to google is email addy ...

Riddle me this: How the hell did Mark Jackson get to be on the NBA FINALS PLAY-BY-PLAY CREW?! He has absolete zero redeeming qualities from everything I've seen/heard. Conversely, I swear Jeff Van Gundy might be the next great color analyst. He's a great hardass, and he's often hilarious...

What would be a realistic salary for this gig? Also, if you can't drive into and out of town, how would a new hire move their material posessions there -- like their car!? Northern Exposure only taught me so much!

I'm absolutely shocked how many supposedly legit sportswriters, like Wilbon, trash MMA while they're clearly completely ignorant of the way the sport is currently run. They're not beating each other to death anymore -- hell, today's MMA fights are usually stopped every bit as quickly as boxing...

It's fourth quarter time here fellas (and ladies). If you're sitting on the fence, its now or never. Rumor has it there's at least a couple superb candidates.

There's still a bit of time left to send stuff in for here. But the resume pile is reaching Leaning-Tower-of-Pisa proportions ...

Rumor has it the stack of resumes is getting fairly sizeable for this gig. Sounds like they're gonna wait maybe 2 more weeks for all to come in though ...

700,000 hmm? I just found something on the Internet that states Springfield's population at 151,000. I worked there not long ago. One thing that amazed me about the place is that its gotta be the biggest city in the world with no real downtown. There's just a lot of industrial looking crap. If...

Bump!

About T-minus 10 days and countin' to get apps in for this one ...

Anyone under 35 should jump on this one. You won't ever get to cover nearly as big a wide array of events/teams as you can here. Until a couple years ago this was the only paper in the state that covered every Iowa, Iowa St. and UNI home & away football game. It still covers about 2/3 of Iowa...

Any word on this yet? ....
