    Ryan Thorburn from the Boulder Daily Camera would be an excellent choice for this job.

    He's been very underutilized there since the paper scaled back its pro coverage.

    Adam Schefter now of NFL Network started at the Denver Post as the paper's Broncos beat reporter. Maybe he wants his old job back.

    I'm surprised. I never thought I'd see a Lean Dean publication advertise FOR a job. I wonder how all those folks who took buyouts, were laid off or fired by Lean's hatchet men feel about that.

    He actually started at the Rocky Mountain News... One of the best NFL reporters around before he left for the NFL Network.

    He switched papers during training camp and didn't tell anyone at the RMN. They found out by reading the Post that morning.

    One of the most legendary paper switches ever. I was covering the Olympics in Atlanta at the time and that's where his boss was when he found out.

    Wow, I never heard that story on Schefter. Did someone clean out his desk at the RMN and move it out via Mayflower in the middle of the night?

    His Wikipedia page only talks about the Post.
    Also I thought the Post was the flagship newspaper for Lean Dean and MediaNews. He is the Publisher still for the paper. So I guess he wants only the best for his baby.

    Anyways this is a great gig and one that only shows up every blue moon. So what do you think the salary for a backup beat writer would be?
