Man, in my younger days *** Paul is aces. This is a GREAT gig.

 

[MileHigh]

Not the Moddy seal of approval, but it gets mine. As with all jobs here. Concur with Moddy. This is a great job and you will grow, learn and excel here led by Paul. If you don't, that's on you.

There is a name I hope applies for the gig. A quality hockey writer out there looking for a permanent home.

Curious if it is the same one I encouraged to apply earlier tonight.

Do you have to know if "Kraken" is singular or plural? Seriously - is the team named after one Kraken or multiple Kraken(s). Kraki?

I don't know. But when I told this person he did say I was the second person to suggest it. And he has crossed paths with you before.

The "he" clinches it, not the same person!

Kraken is plural in German.

Good luck to everyone applying! This is a great job

Not applying for it, so I can ask? Isn't the cost of living in Seattle horrifying?

 

[MileHigh]

Where isn't the cost of living where there are one or more major league sports not horrifying?

Detroit

Indy, though good luck if you're wanting to buy a nice house right now. But I digress ... great to see a job like this on the board.

 

[kickoff-time]

This position has been filled by Marisa Ingemi of NBC Sports and former Bruins reporter for the Boston Herald.

 

[wicked]

Good for Marisa. She’s kept plugging when a lot of other people in her spot would’ve exited stage left.

 

[Moderator1]

Glad to see this

Tampa. You'll never find a house, but the rent situation isn't completely unbearable.

 

[Sports Barf]

Nobody has worked harder or smarter during the pandemic than Marisa. **** barstool for trying to ruin her livelihood

 

[superhater]

Where isn't the cost of living where there are one or more major league sports not horrifying?

Indy and Cincinnati, for starters.

But yeah, if you're taking a beat on either coast, you'd better be independently wealthy, married to a superior earner or willing to live in a studio apartment subsisting on Lean Cuisines.
