Byline baby

I did it. I got my byline. Surprisingly they kept a lot of my own language, which I purposefully tried to make subtly funny. I am now officially a Cleveland Cavs fans.

Also, after going to the West Ham vs. Derby match yesterday, I have now seen more Premier League games than NFL games. That's strange. I have also seen three more Premier League stadiums than NFL stadiums and six more PL teams than NFL teams. Strange again.

Comments Welcome,
Andrew

Congrats fella!

That's awesome. Glad to see it, but not glad that you're now on board with the Cavs. At least they won yesterday, and LeBron had a sick dunk.

Also, I think it's awesome about the stadiums, and given how hard it is to get to NFL games, it doesn't seem too unusual.

Also, notice that there are TWO Sixers one the list... I don't see any Cavs.

Nice research, though. I didn't know you knew that much about the NBA. Now we've got something else to talk about!

Dr. J's drive is one of my favorite Philly sports highlights.

Center doesn't have an "e." =P

Space Jam was not dreadful.

Nick Camm,
Thanks. Yea it was mostly research instead of known info. It does when you use the crazy British spelling. My original sentence about Spacejam was actually something like, Although Jordan had 114 strikeouts with the White Sox, he had a great hit in 1996 with Space Jam.

Grandpa,
Thanks. I have it in print here. I'll do my best to snag some more copies. (You were able to see it online, right?)

Hey Andrew,

That's great! Paul brought me a copy of your other article sans byline, but how can I see this one?
Love, Mom

Mom,
Click the link and you can read it online. I will bring back a hard copy with me though.

Andrew,
Congrats on the Byline, thats really awesome. Although I have so major issues with your list, that I won't enumerate here. Also since you mentioned the NFL any thoughts on who the jets should take with the 6 pick? Will you be able to watch the draft anywhere?
Hope all is well,
Kev

Andrew Waite said...

Kevin,
That's the beauty of such a list. No matter who you pick, it is always easy to argue about.
I don't even know what the jets need anymore.

Nick said...

Given that, might I suggest becoming an Eagles fan too?

We need wide receivers...

Hi Andrew,

Congratulations on the byline! Maybe you can squeeze in another one before you leave. You should tell them that you had multiple bylines when you wrote for the NYT!

I am booking hotel tonight. Talk to you when I get to London. The best,

Dad

Hey Dad,
I actually am working on another this week. Too bad the internship is only 7 weeks. See you Thursday.

Andrew Waite said...

Alan,
Sorry, I missed your comment. Thanks is all.

Great research very professional each article is short and to the point. Is this your top ten or is this the experts opinions? My opinion is different. Maybe you can get a job writing the top 10 lists for Dave Letterman?
Love DFB

I would first off like you to know that I miss you Waiteski....Also, I agree with Crime Dog, Space Jam was incredible...It was like a time capsule that even shows that M.J. was a member of the Charlotte Knights of the International League ....in baseball.....Also I like the fact that Mugsy Bogues got some love in the movie....hahahah but seriously congrats on all the happenings in the papers....LIVVVVVVVVVVVERPOOOOOOOOL, LIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVERPOOOOOOOL

Now that Mr. Bigshot got his own byline, he doesn't need to update us anymore?

I see how it is...

Hope everything's going well as your semester winds down. Still pretty upset I'm gonna miss ya in Boston, but our summer paths (work schedule pending) will certainly have to cross.
