    This close to the season? That sucks for the editors. There will be tons of resumes and not a lot of time to get someone good nailed down. Best of luck.

    I spent two months at Turnover, Pa. Am I ready? It's not all about how old you are, you know?

    Spoke to Glen about this gig recently. Seems like he'd be a really cool guy to work for.

    Sounds like Strib would be a good place to work. I've always loved my Twin Cities visits.

    If there's any SJ phrase I wish would be retired, it's that one.

    Judd did an incredible job. It seems he broke the bulk of the news on a very competitive beat.
