    Hattrick - online soccer game

    Anyone else on here play the online game Hattrick? I found it a couple of months ago and have been addicted to it since. It's kind of like fantasy soccer, but it's fictional players and global (almost 900,000 people playing worldwide). It's been a blast so far, just was curious who else has...

    Identity Crisis

    The youth sports thread got my wheels spinning and I wanted to see what you guys thought. My paper's size (50,000-70,000 circ.) puts us in kind of a limbo state. We work the prep beat hard and we run a rec/youth page each week (though it doesn't get a ton of names in, mostly schedules and...

    Do you subscribe?

    Saw a note that The Palm Beach Post no longer will provide as many papers in its newsroom as it has in the past, and management basically said that if you want a paper, we encourage you to take advantage of the 50% discount you get on a subscription. Got me thinking . . . how many of you...

    Managing Generation Y

    I'm going to try to tread carefully here . . . I'm a mid-20s desker, and I'm growing increasingly frustrated with the management styles I have encountered so far. My biggest problems have come from a lack of feedback, a lack of motivational skills and a lack of innovation. I know there is...

    Jon Gruden a caddie?

    Saw the AP story of this last night, but here's the St. Pete Times version from the PGA Tour's PODS Championship near Tampa. Is a little more too the point and has a Gruden quote: Bucs coach Jon Gruden was hanging out in the Hooters Owl’s Nest Club behind the 17th green when rain suspended play...

    Palm Beach Post Cuts

    Going to smaller paper

    I was curious as to what you guys thought about taking a "step down" (going from a large metro paper to a somewhat smaller paper). If the smaller paper offered opportunities to maybe do more things and have more input (from either a writing or a desk perspective), would the move be worth it? How...

    Job interview question

    I'm going to interview with a sports magazine, and one of the things they want me to do while I'm there is cover an event locally and write a gamer, just to see how I do. They're also going to use the story on their Web site as their official gamer for the event. I'm worried about whether that...

    Unadvertised jobs

    I was curious how many jobs (desk or reporting) do you think go unpublished? Is it common for editors to try to do their hiring through contacts first, and then put out an ad? And has anyone been hired for a job where they were actively recruited rather than had to apply after seeing the opening?
