You can learn a lot about what sits around you in pressboxes by reading some of the stupidity in these posts. Alma, you're wasting your time debating someone who clearly has "read" a lot about hip hop and its effects on black society.

I misread this at first, then saw "(rightly so, in my opinion)". Hip-hop and hip-hop culture isn't the problem, it's the idiots who can't discern "art" from reality. I'm a huge hip-hop head from a bad/gang neighborhood, my dad was a drug dealer, all the cliches you've heard. Turned out just fine.

That's a heck of an application, boy. Heckuva an opportunity, too. Would be all over this one if I weren't in this current gig.

Worked with this guy and loved every minute of it. He helped me to improve my game significantly, and was totally gracious with his time in doing so. Great writer and reporter, and even greater person. But I could say that about pretty everybody at that shop.

That place stinks to high heaven, literally.

Hate to see this. Worked for Nick. He gave me my start. I grew up reading him.

Worked for him. Grew up reading him. Knew the man very well because he covered me in high school. Gave me my first shot out of college because I was a hometown kid. Eternally grateful to him.

Greg's the best.

Uncle Ruckus as in sellout? IJS.

Lemme also add: "In Chicago..."

I wouldn't have moved. The TV and radio clowns (especially photogs and cameramen) who think it's social hour in the media room while others are trying to work don't shut the eff up. A little typing is far more tolerable than loud cell convos, giggling and other stupid random conversations held...

Ace, I'm a black journalist, and I'd say NABJ has been a tremendous asset throughout my career, as well as others I'm sure. You asked what they're doing about the problem. Well, NABJ isn't bullying anyone into hiring people of color. That's for sure. Hires obviously remain the decision of folks...

Never thought about that, but you're absolutely right. I love Danny Oneill's work. He's my boy, too. So I'm biased. But there are lots of great reporters on the West Coast.

Many misinformed folks re: Jacksonville and the Jaguars. If...actually WHEN I get a gig that allows me to live wherever I want, Jax makes my top 2.
