    So, what do people consider to be good journalism and who do they actually like or respect? I always seem to read about how every journalist is either uninformed, an idiot, or both. Who do y'all like?

    I work in social services, why, is there an opening for someone to film a year long documentary about the team?

    Keep I mind, I have no talent

    Just wondering how much less you'd take to be a fulltime writer on the team for a site like BlazersEdge? How do you think those guys get paid? By each piece they write?

    No clue, but I suspect they aren't paid very well. The guys who go on ESPN are probably better off than the ones write for ESPN.

    If they got say, 150 bucks per article, and do 3 a week for 8 months, that's...um...14k?

    That said, I bet it's more than that. But as supplemental income, that's not too bad.

    I'd write 3 article a week for 8 months for an additional 14k a year....hint hint Denny...

    I bet he won't make much more at SI. Like, he moves up from $30,000 to $40,000 per year.

    I think Ben has done a fantastic job and I'm really impressed with his career trajectory. Well done.
