Cavs: The Blog Calling
2013-04-26
If writing about basketball for free is your sort of thing, drop me a line at colinsilasmcgowan [at] gmail [dot] com. We feel like we need another writer on staff to cover the draft, free agency, and 2013-14 season, and that could be [wipes spit from side of mouth, looks into camera] you! To apply, let me know why you think you’re cut out to write for the blog and, if you have them, give me a couple clips you’re proud of. What we can’t offer in payment we can offer in… hugs? If you fly to Chicago and put yourself up in a hotel, I will hug you, if you really want that. I’m skinny and sorta weak-armed. It won’t be a great hug, probably. At any rate, just email me if you want to join this ragtag operation. We promise it’ll be fun.
What if I send in a decision I wrote for a common pleas court judge? It’s compelling and rich.
I sent you my article I had on bleacher report from before everything had to be in flame war invoking list form.
Sent in an application and blog I wrote about Art Modell’s death. Working on a Cavs article now.
1st test for potential applicants: learn the meaning of the word “emeritus” and do not try and get the position through me. Many, many lazy PR people fail this test.
Just sent in my “application”.
My wife is going to be pumped when she finds out that on top of the thousands of hours I spend watching and reading about miserable Cleveland sports teams I’m now attempting to get an unpaid “job” writing about them!
Seems as though this hug arrangement is just gonna cost me money. I’m out of this deal. Garbage.
Kevin, when Kevin Ware was being interviewed immediately following Louisville’s win, he was answering a question about the team’s bond and he said something to the effect of “we’re all born of the same womb” but it sounded like he said “born of the same ooze”
Born of the same ooze. My four year old watches the Ninja Turtles now; I think this is the first show where our childhood’s cross paths.
Yeah you’ll have to show him Microsoft Paint. He’ll have just as much fun with the spray paint can as we did.
Oh, sorry, they call it the ‘airbrush’ now.
Shoot, I’m in.
What do I do to apply for the Ninja Turtle job? My son would be so stoked!
