Boston's Rapaport to NFL Network

[IanRRapoport]

Thanks for the best wishes and other stuff on this thread, guys. Much appreciated. Looking forward to the next challenge, one that was completely unexpected.
I wanted to post this in a thread about the Boston Herald job opening for my position, but it seems one doesn't exist yet. So...
When I was hired by the Herald in July of 2009, I had no NFL experience. Yet my boss, Hank Hryniewicz, took a chance, and I think it worked out for all parties. (Kinda like Rusty Hampton did in 2004 -- thanks Rusty!!)
The Herald is a fantastic place to work, with great editors who embrace creativity. The job of Patriots beat reporter is one that I thoroughly enjoyed. My advice to those wondering about the opening would be, even if you don't have the requisite experience, if you are talented, don't be shy. You'll likely be considered.
If anyone has any questions, email me at [email protected].

I'm not sure anyone wants to be the guy to try to fill your shoes, Ian. ;-)

Give me one Ian Rapaport over a dozen Adam ****fers any day...

I think almost every SE in the country would be ecstatic to have either...

During my time as a sports writer, I never met a writer who worked harder than Schefter.
