    I'm confused. Just read his report on the Auburn football coaching change in the Montgomery Advertiser.
    Anyone know what is going on?

    Interesting. Is on the Avalanche road trip. Filed a story on their game Friday. Avalanche are off until Friday and Saturday in Finland.

    Maybe had a pre-written story on the coaching change, like many obits are pre-written knowing it was coming?

    Upon further review, I think you're right. The Advertiser story has a shared byline with Auburn dateline. I didn't notice the other reporter's name on my initial read.

    Think that's pretty much the way to handle it. Got a picture by the World Series trophy years back, realize it's not the same as the Stanley
    Cup but never would think of picking it up or touching it. Kind of like taking a picture next to a statue at a museum, not gonna climb
    up on it but would stand next to it for a pic.

    Not that he's a bad guy, just more of a clown. Just like we don't take the newspapers with the ads for the titty bars as seriously as we take
    the newspapers with the Mercedes Benz ads, unless it's changed that much in the past decade or so.

    Kind of a stupid thing to say, unless he meant don't expect to land the job until you have 7 years experience. Applying and going to an interview is
    good to experience.

    It was pretty much the Post is untouchable for you, so don't even think it. It's kind of funny considering my peer, who I am pretty sure was at that meeting, got there less than a year later and the overall state of the industry now, especially the Denver Post. I wish I could remember who the editor was.

    Did nobody in the Denver market go to journalism school?

    She's the sportscaster of the year in Colorado! *super hard eyeroll* Even by the homer standards of sportscasters, that's pretty bad. But the douchey bro is much worse. Alas, if The Athletic taught anyone anything (and it was nothing good), it was that being homers pulls in subs and eyeballs.

    She didn't -- she graduated from Colorado with a business degree and got into the business after she was interviewed for her second stint as a Broncos cheerleader

    For the other guy -- at least he works for a fan site that quote "We make it more fun to be a Colorado sports fan" and has a perk based around a bar.

    There are two types of sports fans…

    Ones that want an objective outlook on the team that praises when it is earned and critiques when it is earned.

    The other cheers when their team gains 11 yards on third-and-15, is certain the refs cost them every game, wants someone to tell them their team is the greatest ever and is annoying as fuck if you are in the same room with them when you’re watching your team. And their the majority of fans out there when your team is actually good.

    You can figure out who reads which outlet.
