It's great to discuss these jobs when you can't live afford to live in the city you work in.

No Stitch, that's pretty f**ked up.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Ashburn used to be rural and now demand there has skyrocketed.

Judging a place if it has a greasy spoon like Five Guys or Whataburger or a pricey grocery store like Wegmans and Kroger is crazy. Chances are, if you're doing the job correctly, you won't be spending much time in those places.

Ever spend a day at an NFL facility? Plenty of time for lunch between their pre-planned controlled access times.

Back in the day, during the JKC era, the Redskins would feed the press on Wednesdays between the opponents teleconference and player access. It was whatever was left over from the players' lunch and it was usually pretty good.
 
Longtime reader and I hate to do this but I sent stuff in for this one and didn't hear anything and don't see any new coverage on the website and wanted to know was this job ever filled?? Thanx.

I don't know - haven't talked to the good folks in F-burg in a while. I will say this - and not to be an ass as they know - I'm very glad I helped create this opening. Rich Campbell is doing outstanding work for us. His feature on O.J. Atogwe is just one example. My overall point, I guess, is this is a great place to go and get some quality opportunities working with terrific people. You will get noticed.

Rich Campbell is the worst Redskins reporter in the history of the world and a terrible person. He hates dogs. And old people. And children.

:)

Zac Boyer from the Hartford Courant starts Monday covering the Redskins for us.
 
That's a damn good hire and I heard nothing but good stuff about him when I was up that way. I think he also does/did some stuff for the Scout site that covers UConn.

It's funny that you call Kroger's a "pricey" store. Where I'm from, Kroger's been around for a while and the stores are ... I wouldn't say run-down, but old. On the other hand, Albertson's came late to the party and opened two nice, new stores and became the "nice" store in town. I told my brother this and he laughed, telling him where he was the Albertsons were the old, run down stores and there were other nicer chains.

Of course, I've since moved to a larger market and have Whole Foods and Fresh Market as the "nice" stores...
