    Wishing you all the best, MileHigh. There is life after journalism. In fact, life after working is almost as enjoyable if you can get out healthy and with enough spending money to waste on a hobby or two.

    Thanks. It's different and on the other side of media, but still in communications. But ... lots more money and not a ton of pressure.

    Those cushy government jobs are like gold. Decent pay, normal hours, decent benefits, no layoffs or firings. Way to go, MH.

    Took a while to fight through and get in the door. Perhaps a couple of furlough days here or there. Only a few days into it so we'll see, but I'm not complaining. Yet.

    Obviously this goes beyond sports journalism, but as much as "twitter" and "social media" have been scorned and blamed for the demise of journalism, I realized today that the real culprit is the hashtag. Yes, the hashtag. Say something A happens and gets a million re-tweets and likes, well, you are probably going to throw together something "B" that goes along the same lines so you can you the hashtag "A-Too."

    Anyone think that kicker story on Urban Meyer would have seen the light of day with out Meyer being a hot topic on twitter? Or the latest "pending Trump indictment?" - it's follow the pack journalism, latch on to a hot topic with something factual or not, newsworthy or not, but as long as you can drop the same hashtag - you're good.
