Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have about this one.

 

Palmdale is Afroman's hometown.

 

I got the sports writer job, but we're STILL looking for a sports editor.

 

Good luck with that. Probably will have to get someone to relocate. Move to the desert, so I can sit in an office all day? No thanks.

 

Bill Speltz, who did a really good job covering the University of Montana at the Missoulian, got this gig.

 

That was fast.

 

Quality sports department, plus I would have moved closer to the girls.

 

And now he's already gone? https://twitter.com/APSE_sportmedia/status/548604738502414336

 

This appears to be the job that just can't be filled. I feel for the staffers working shorthanded at that shop.

 

I was just coming here to post that Speltz was gone. What the hell happened?

 

Didn't this paper get bad reviews on past threads?
