Deadspin: Is an ESPN columnist scamming people on the Internet?

I was thinking of commenting on this whole thing, but I decided it wasn't worth getting left out of the tetherball rotation.

 

About that much.

 

Sarah J. Phillips, who i had never heard of until this story broke (I haven't read Page 2 since HST), is a bigger star than ever. Her sort-of journalism career is over, but she's guaranteed porn money. Perhaps a scene with Stephen Glass? He's always looking for work... Or better yet a scene with Jayson Blair.

 

This is the one question that I want an answer to. I did a freelance story for ESPN once (it was only a 500-word game story) and I had to fill out four pages of paperwork in order to get paid. Was ESPN leaving money in an envelope at some random park?

 

She's a real person. It just appears her Indian buddy was doing a lot of the writing. And scamming.

 

Isn't Glass working as an attorney?

 

Paralegal last time I heard. No state would give him a law license.

 

The turnover portion of Mizzou's post accounts for a lot of it. There was a lot of turnover there, plus, unlike a lot of other metros, they would publicly post their openings. That's a perfect storm for SportsJournalists.com, back in the day.

 

Um, any particular reason for the sarcasm I'm getting here?

 

Yeah, YGBFKM! Let dooley have a monopoly on one-liners!

POGS!

 

Keeerist. Could barely make it through half of that. WAY TOO LONG. Moral of the story is that some idiot will end up marrying her and get screwed for life. Sucks to be him.

 

I just don't see how Hoppes keeps his job after this.
