Titans beat writer -- Tennessean

Great hire.

 

Eh, only of you like great writers who break a bunch a news and win a ton of awards.

 

I feel bad for you, son; I got 99 problems but the Titans' beat ain't one.

 

I know Nashville has a reputation for chicken, but they're going to have to step their game up with this guy on the beat.

 

Isn't that, you know, illegal?

 

I love the one that requires a minimum of eight years of experience in "building a personal brand and fanbase."
1) Does anybody really have eight years of experience in such things? Twitter isn't that old, and it's an essential component to building one's brand. Blogs by themselves aren't considered brand-builders, are they?
2) No reporter worth his journalistic chops has a "fanbase." Journalists are hated. If a beat reporter has fans, he or she is likely a homer.
