Tulane Beat Writer

The people doing the hiring for this job must be one step above brain-dead...

What kind of a paper asks for clips and then sends back resumes? Dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard of... Hoppes would have made this hire in two weeks...

 

You should see the freakin' applications they send out, too. Asks for everything but your kindergarten teacher's maiden name. That's why I sent you a resume, dipshits.

 

You are talking about the same management which asked its college baseball beat writer to refer to the catcher as something other than catcher because "everybody on the field catches the ball, so the reader will get confused."

They've done some other stupid things, but I've tried my hardest to forget them.

 

that's the craziest shit I've ever heard, Stagger.

 

Is this not the paper where Wright Thompson spent his formative years?

 

Formative year.

 

I think he was there 10 months...

 

This will sound sexist, but that has female SE written all over it...

 

When was this? And they have at least two college bb beat writers, LSU and Tulane.

 

You're right. It sounds sexist.

 

and accurate

 

No, it was at least a year. He was there the day LSU football players reported for camp in August 2001, and he was there at least through the 2002 season opener a year later before leaving for KC in September or October.
