I recognize that newspapers are struggling financially and this job likely doesn't pay well, so they're probably hiring inexperience people. I get that.
But it still seems like a great job for an entry-level person, and I haven't seen anyone post anything from her that's really football specific.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, too. What is her job supposed to be? If she was hired to write puff pieces about the celebrities playing football, then I withdraw my complaints. But I get the impression that she's supposed to be reporting football news. What's the bottom line?

I got that impression as well when teicher was our news guy with totally uninformed opinions who somehow made it to the national stage. He was replaced by some guy who's delivering the same kind of news. In the age of Twitter, totally irrelevant. A far cry from someone like terez or Babb who could deliver that same story with actual substance behind it.
