canbuffan34 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Some idiot on RNews.com(whatever that is?) says that JP has yet to throw a TD pass in 3 preseason games? Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he throw a dandy one to Evans in the Colts game? I hate stupid writers who don't do their research before printing such garbage!

He can tell the super bowl score and mvp from 30 years ago but has no real insight or intelligence about the sports world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound_n_Fury Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 (Seriously, though, you DO realize most of them now have college degrees in journalism....) 421553[/snapback] Good investment, that! "A Sports reporter's median salary was $18,000 a year and ranging from $12,500 to $30,600 in largest markets." So what if I can't pay my student loans back, at least I can score some free sideline tix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I end up ditching the shift-worker's life and going to J-school - and yeah, I have been giving that some semi-serious thought - I figure in the long run I'd probably end up with about a $10K paycut. Then again, there's something to be said for finding a job you enjoy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, what do you have to do outside of attend the games and have a loud enough/biased opinion for the local fans to like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, money was scarce, but we did make a couple of family visits to Erie...I thought it was as great as a journey to the ends of the Earth!...no kidding.
