A little help...
I need everyones help. I am in a contest type thing with CBS Sports/Bleacher Report, to become an NFL correspondent for a few months. I have to create mock articles and interviews throughout the contest. Here's a link to my first mock interview. I'm trying to get the job for the Cardinals, since I live in AZ.
If you're going to write something stupid or personal against me in the comment section of the article, please don't. This could be something pretty cool.
Make sure to leave a comment though. Thank you guys for your support, and help.

I'll just write all the stupid, mean stuff in this here comment section:
Tom, you suck. You're fat and hairy and I heard you like show tunes.
touche
On a serious note, I might need your help with a couple articles though. I'll let you know. What's your email?
I'd rather not put my personal e-mail for all to see, but if you want to give me your e-mail or tell me which Tom Van Haaren you are on Facebook, I'll help out wherever I can.
Send Brian an email, and he'll forward it to me.
Done and done.
Fuck you Magnus, I love show tunes.
You would.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
Jesse L Martin is pretty bad ass...
Why does it not surprise me that the first show tune you quoted was one about gay people with AIDS?
They aren't all gay, and they don't all have AIDS. In fact, only one of them is both gay and has AIDS.
...you're going to be blown away by the sequel.
KA-ZING!
Did you graduate from M in ~2003? If so were you in a fraternity?
No, no, and yes.
I went to Central, which is why my grammar sometimes isn't spectacular. I can drink you under the table, out beer pong and flip cup you though, if that counts? I was a Sigma Chi at CMU.
I hate frat boy beer pong! ;-)
Believe me, I do too. I'm not a "frat dude" I promise.
You look remarkably similar to a guy who was a couple of years younger than me in my frat. Thanks the rply, and keep up the great work.
Ps. you can definitely drink me under the table now. I have become a light wieght since graduating.
For some reason, I get the "you look familiar" thing about once a week. It's weird.
I'm class of 2005 at CMU
I graduated in 2006.
It's good to meet the inspiring journalist finally.
What was your major?
I have a chance to star in a p0rn film but need all of you to go online and view clips of the film and vote first. I am competing with a horse, a dog and a manatee. The film is called, "Jungle Love". I'm the monkey with the chrome plated pistol. Please don't goof on this. This is a serious theatrical endeavor. If I get this role, I'll be able to do Viagra ads and will be a very wealthy chimp.
Oh come on, you're wearing a sweatervest in that picture. HATE HATE HATE.
So you just need comments or what?
I don't think that's technically a sweater vest, but I understand. I just want to show I can get views and comments, so spread the word and leave one too.
Looks like a vest, but not a sweatervest, to me. Tom, if this gig doesn't work out you may have a future as a J. Crew model.
Burgeoning career, perhaps?? If you need a logo or anything, let me know. Michigan is a brotherhood.
Are you a designer? I'm New Bus. Coordinator of an Ad Agency out here. I actually might need somethings for a website/business I'm starting. Do you have a portfolio online?
I am. Saying more would make me one of those people, so I'll just leave it at that.
As far as portfolio, it's in transition-- I'm redesigning a full Flash site and it's been under construction for (ahem) too long. I'm kinda dialed in as far as career goes right now so the portfolio isn't exactly the priority it should be, but yes, I need to finish it for freelance opportunities and things just like this.
If you're interested, I could always send a sample sheet PDF to your email. Thanks for the interest... I worked in advertising for many years and remember all the ups and downs that came with it. Good luck with that and the writing.
I have a designer and coder working on my site as we speak. I really just need a logo designed. My boss has won national awards for his logo design, but he's expensive and busy.
What's your email? (if you're not comfortable just send it to Brian and tell him to forward it to me)
is really one of my specialties... I'll have Brian pass it along. Thanks man
For just a web designer?
a comment for you. It would be pretty cool to get that gig.
But we want you at our beck and call! You are going to leave us just like the WLA did. Soon Magnus will leave and we'll have nothing but old McFarlin threads to read.
The sad thing is, once August starts, I'll be practically useless as far as football analysis goes. I still watch games and track the team, but there's only so much time in the day...
So you won't be calling for Minor to get more carries? I kid.
Thank you guys. I appreciate it.
but i feel like i am biting off my nose to spite my face in supporting this..... you are not excused from your mgoblog duties, good sir.
of former chippewas on this board.
kenny mayne flavor to it. and i am referencing his interviews that he does on the last page of ESPN the mag. those are by far my fav type of interviews.
Now I have to get spam for life, but I left a comment. I appreciate the work you do here.
I thought you'd look Dutcher.
I rated it and friended you so I can always get your articles cause you are like the tops daddiyo!
