Engineers spend a lot of their time on HF Boards
To be fair, some of us may be on disability.

Rob Rossi posted an article about Matt Murray today for the Athletic ("The still 'fragile' Penguins are ready for Matt Murray to 'calm' things in Pittsburgh, but is he?") that didn't contain any quotes from Matt Murray. Does that strike anyone else as odd?

You'd think even Rob Rossi would know that you should probably include a quote from the person you're writing an article about.
Probably what happened, though, is he tried to get something from Murray that would fit his article and Murray wouldn't bite.
I did ask Rossi why there weren't any Murray quotes in his article, and, even though he found time to respond to everyone else's post, mine must have slipped under his radar.
I sense some envy here. It's easy to look at other people's jobs and denigrate them-- "oh anyone could do that."
Imagine a lot of hf posters would give their firstborn to have a paying gig in sports writing/broadcasting.
Yeah, cracking the 100k mark annually took me about 7.5yrs and a 2 career changes and 2 jobs.good for him...it took me ten years and the job change to get there
LOL, are you serious? Sports commentators don't traffic in meaningful information by definition. It's SPORTS, entertainment.Yea, I would like to be paid to say “x coach wants to win because he’s Irish” as if it was meaningful information.
I'm going to guess that Mackey is also of Irish descent.Mackey is on the Fan with Paul “Uhhh” Zeise talking hockey. Mackey said how Sullivan is so competitive and Irish (what’s with bringing up his nationality all of a sudden?) that he’s like “We have to win this game. We need to win.”
Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that the point of sports or.... ?
Was he the one who brought it up the first time like a week ago in an article? I honestly can’t remember. I thought it was someone else, so it was odd to me that “everyone” is bringing it up now.I'm going to guess that Mackey is also of Irish descent.
He was. As far as I know, he's the only one to have done it. I'm just guessing it's because he's repping an Irish connection, no idea if it's actually true or not.Was he the one who brought it up the first time like a week ago in an article?

The metric here is the ability to draw and maintain an audience. Pretty competitive as there is no shortage of folks who would like that job.
I'm saying it's sports, ergo entertainment. And the ability to attract and maintain an audience is paramount. This is not unique to the internet as you surely must realize. Gotta pay the bills irrespective of the medium.Right.. so analyzing or relaying the facts regarding your subject matter, as meaningful as it is, is useless, and speculating on pseudo-psychology as it pertains to said game is on the same level. Ok, Maggie.
You’re basically saying that they get paid based on click bait, in order to generate ad revenue and clicks, which is why people under the age of 45 in the digital age hate journalists, sports or not. Irish Man Proud, the sports equivalent to Orange Man Bad.
How does Mackey take a **** with the Pens media teams arm so far up his ass?
Another maturbatory article by that ass hat.
No, this is a family site!Can you post it?
Everyone is English or IrishI'm going to guess that Mackey is also of Irish descent.
