    They have a CEO opening that I hear is promising. Screw the pooch enough and the board will pay you $210 million to go away.

    Even with a backed-up spigot, the Moddy Pipeline has a better track record than that, so you've got that going for you, which is nice. ;-)

    To keep doing some of Michigan, they'd obviously have to use someone else for races when events conflicted. Or games.
    That time of year, during the Chase, that's a lot. I don't see how that part could work out.
    Of course, since I'm a MONTH late on this, it's probably already worked out.

    Interesting news, considering the talk on another thread of DMN's Tim Cowlishaw also double-dipping with ESPN.com as a NASCAR guy.

    Even if a Michigan game and a race never directly conflicted, if you're a NASCAR beater, you're pretty much spending every waking moment from Thursday afternoon to Saturday night/Sunday afternoon at the track. Obviously she's not going to be the only flag-bearer for ESPN at a late-season race, but at that level, you need to be plugged in to every outlet on the track to not get your ass handed to you by Charlotte, Atlanta, Daytona or the other outlets, none of which are seeing their top NASCAR people go to N.C. State or Georgia Tech games on Saturday.
