[da man]

How many times has this job been posted?

 

[DanOregon]

So I guess we know what Travis Rodgers did all of those years.
So does this mean Rome really doesn't have a take, he just pays someone who does?

That's what crossed my mind, too. Does Rome not write his own stuff?

Anyway, I hear there are plenty of unemployed talented writers in Southern California. Surely one can land this gig if they can stand it.

Repeating words.

If you can call Jim Everette Chris with a straight face, to his face, you have the job.

I bring you the comment mainly reserved for the Three Stooges of the Jobs board ...

Dan & Shaggy: Nope. From the first time around ...

This is likely for Jim Rome's show (everything that guy says on any subject is written out, as any of us who've ever seen him on radio row at the Super Bowl can verify),

Rack him.

This will be our last roundup for Mr. Rome.

For more information, talk to J-Stu during show hours.

You think pay would be over 60k a year?

This is still funny.

 

[Ice9]

What qualifies as a rant? And why is this job posting in all caps?

 

[Football_Bat]

Grrreat! Bang your monkey!

 

[BigRed]

Clones, have a take or you WILL get run.

 

[DanOregon]

I must say, for a guy who used to rip on people for "reading their takes," I can't believe he needs a writer. I get jotting down some notes and such, but as self-loathing as most radio people are, I can't imagine how self-loathing you'd have to be to write jokes and material for a radio host.

McNuggets gets the job.

AND I!!! AM!!! OUT!!!

 

[llcharlie]

Too bad Everett didn't finish what he started.

 

[Walter_Sobchak]

This is a good one, too
