One of them, I think it was the Sporting News, came out and said Myron Lewis and DJ Moore
are the best pair of corners in the SEC this year, and so you guys are getting a little
bit of pub. You guys are getting a ink this summer. How do you feel? I mean, I don't know
if you've read this or heard about these things, but when you hear about it, how does it make
you feel? The best part about being a sports writer for me personally is I get to do exactly
what I had hoped to do growing up. In high school I decided I wanted to be a sportswriter,
and that was more years ago now than I care to admit, but I'm still doing it, and I'm
still here, and I'm still loving my job, and it's--the people that like this job really
sink their teeth into and love it. Number one, most of us love sports. And this gives
us a chance to be around sports and to kind of tap into that passion. Most of us also
like to write, and we like the media aspect of things. So the best part of it is you get
to do something that you really enjoy and that you have a passion for. The worst part
about being a sportswriter is probably you have no normal hours. If you want a nine to
five job, this is definitely not the job for you. We work a lot of nights, we work a lot
of weekends. Sometimes there's a lot of travel involved. But again, if you really enjoy what
you're doing, you don't mind that. But, it is hard to settle into a routine because there--during
basketball season I could be working till ten o'clock three or four nights a week sometimes.
And that's just the way it is, and you accept that going in. So I guess that could be one
of the downfalls of the job, but really for those of us who enjoy it, it's not a terrible
sacrifice.
