Pickle Juice to the white courtesy phone

 

Stole my line exactly!

I would apply, but Tim has enough of my resumes already to use as wallpaper.

A classic "maybe I can apply for the position vacated by the guy they eventually hire" gig.

 

She (or he?) might have moved on after making it big in the world of cutlery sales.

 

Was this the paper that other dude got a prep job at and then left before taking it to go to Green Bay ?

 

Yep

 

Great big boy job. Best of luck to all that apply.

 

Tyler Dunne, we meet again.

 

In my opinion, this is the most competitive non-New York City beat in the country.

You do well on this beat at any of the three papers and you'll be at ESPN, SI or one of the national websites within 2-3 years.

The list of guys who have done time on this beat is amazing.

 

South Florida is tons of fun as well. Lots to there. Great bars, restaurants, etc.

 

With all due respect, I have no idea how it's even possible to say the Bears beat and Cowboys beat aren't more competitive. Your Florida bias is showing.
