    NBA Playoffs Thread

    Totally off topic: In press conferences, why do Lebron and Wade constantly look down at the podium when they talk, as if there was a sheet of paper there telling them what to say? It is very annoying and makes them look terrible.

    Worst game you have covered?

    15-14 high school girls basketball game. it was 3-1 at the half. One team played a zone and the other coach refused to attack it. For most of the game, the team just held the ball at mid-court.

    Sports writer, Greenwood, S.C.

The coach was not in the best of health and got sick at halftime, so much that he had to be taken from the field...

    $600/month in PA (in an admitted shirthole in Bangor, Pa); $800-900/month in Newton, blocks from the paper. Commute was 45 minutes. A hard 45: two lane road with lots of farms around.

    HS Sports Reporter for New Jersey Herald, (Newton, NJ)

    I worked there for two years, leaving this past December. You will get every opportunity to write, write, write on this job. Jim Dente is a good person and a good boss. The only downside, to me, was the cost of living in the area in relation to what you made on your paycheck every two weeks...

    New Sports writer would like advice

    Be personable and ask questions. Have a great memory, too. Go to a practice for a feature and ask questions about anything -- how friendships developed on a team, what neighborhood a kid lives in -- stuff like that. Don't immediately write it down: Remember it. It will help you frame things...

    I've been asked to give a speech

    "What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape, geriatric jerk offs to keep the noise down, while I take my robe off and show you what a real sexy man is supposed to look like --- Hit the music." That should break the ice.
