We’re Looking for a Fall Intern
All, Intern Search 2012 October 5th. 2012, 12:45pm
As I tweeted earlier this week, we’re looking to add a Fall intern. The position would be unpaid. Hopefully, you can get some college credit out of it. We’ve already received around 35 responses from eager, qualified applicants. Prior experience in reporting/writing/blogging is a huge plus. Knowing our style/what we do – news, videos, sports media – is obviously important. We aren’t looking for someone to opine on sports or break down games. Most popular question so far: What are you looking for? Easiest answer: I’ll know it when I see it. Email: jmcintyre@thebiglead.com.
We plan on working you harder than GQ worked Rajon Rondo. We hope to have a decision made in a couple weeks.

Serious questions:
Jason, you gonna treat this reality-TV-style? Give us periodic updates on the candidates?
Or, are you gonna treat ‘em like a fraternity rush? Make ‘em get you coffee, wash your car, etc.?

I think this post is a trap. The banhammer will be used.

Most of you have seen this, but it’s always worth another look:
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
October 5th, 2012 at 12:54 PM
Is this where the interviews will be held?
October 5th, 2012 at 12:54 PM
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I’m bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don’t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer, I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

If we get to vote, I’m voting for Taguchi. Because we all want him to be free, and you don’t want to pay anyone. I believe I have found the perfect solution to your hiring needs.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:11 PM
Is he wearing the shmedium Jets shirt in those pictures?
Yes. With a suit jacket over it. I assume he is trying on clothes. I hope he doesn’t walk around with a suit jacket over a tshirt.

Love to hear how working him/her super hard for no money does not benefit you as a company.

Dan Shanoff wanted me to forward his resume to you. I copy and pasted it below:
DANIEL SHANOFF
Experience:
ESPN. 2001-2005. Fired. Took a sexual reference and made it a daily sports blog.
Somewhere else. 2005-present.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
Wow. Dan Shanoff. I remember that guy. I read his blog daily for a few weeks at some point. Why’d you think of him, Trey?
October 5th, 2012 at 1:22 PM
So Shamburglar’s epic summer run is over?
October 5th, 2012 at 1:26 PM
I believe a lot (or some, at least) of the TVF guys got started as Shanoff commenters. I actually still read Shanoff sometimes, mostly just to see what ridiculous things he says.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:28 PM
TVF guys got started as Shanoff commenters
I wonder if I was commenting amongst them at some point. I know I have to have been commenting with some TBLers at Deadspin before the purge but I don’t remember doing it
October 5th, 2012 at 1:47 PM
Shanoff burn was well done, Trey.
Intern: Well, I have experience writing about baseball, golf, good TV shows and fully clothed men
TBL: GTFO of my office
October 5th, 2012 at 1:47 PM
And what a moment that was for the sports world.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:48 PM
He’s part-time on staff. Need to add him to the staff box on the front page. Welcome him!
October 5th, 2012 at 1:50 PM

you got a girl works there?
October 5th, 2012 at 1:59 PM
nope.
ummmm. (silence)
October 5th, 2012 at 1:59 PM
oh, good. Hernia has weighed in.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:01 PM
Damn straight.
Almost as riveting as the time you, Duff-man, and TBL demonstrated the elephant walk for Lisk.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:04 PM
blog feud! my vote is that TVF has more interesting posts day to day than TBL, but since i love the showcase for stupidity, i come here for the rapidfire comments
perfect blog? tvf posts and TBL comments (volume, not necessarily characters)

oh

I’d love to see what the reaction would be from someone at ESPN the Magazine if an applicant went to an interview and had this site or deadspin on the resume.
I know that many of the editors there read this site (the editor of the magazine has mentioned the site many times on his podcast), curious what they would make of an applicant.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:14 PM
fuck that…the editors read this shit?
YOUR PRODUCT IS HORRIBLE AND STOP SENDING ME IT JUST BECAUSE I SIGNED UP FOR ESPN INSIDER.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:16 PM
i agree, tbl.
me and soused had a nice argument the other night about the value of unpaid internships in general and this one in particular. it ain’t for everyone, but if you can afford to work for free (live at home, have another job) and are looking for a break in media, do it
/always had paid internships
October 5th, 2012 at 2:16 PM
YOUR PRODUCT IS HORRIBLE AND STOP SENDING ME IT JUST BECAUSE I SIGNED UP FOR ESPN INSIDER.
you get free TBL with insider?
October 5th, 2012 at 2:21 PM
which is why it works for a college kid. or someone out of college living at home not working.
You can hop on twitter and ask the decision-makers at ESPN, SI, Yahoo, etc what they would think if they say this site or deadspin on a resume. Don’t take my word for it.
fwiw, I had 3 internships in my career: 1 in high school (unpaid), 1 in college (unpaid; saved up money during the year, intern during the summer), 1 post-college (had to move to NC, it was paid).
We have had 4 interns – i think, maybe 5 – and none have been paid.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:22 PM
They would probably make more of him if he could afford clean clothes.

October 5th, 2012 at 2:43 PM
On another note… every time I read a random piece on baseball and think it has a well-founded layout, logical stats etc, it’s a Baseball Prospectus guy. Some guys are just really good writers, and it’s really a shame they are ‘wasted’ on a non-mainstream website, or even in sports at all… of course on ESPN, they’d be wasted by people who don’t appreciate their stuff.
It reassures me I’m not just being contrary when I criticize other shit I find on the internet, that there actually are good writers, and I’m criticizing BAD writing, and not ALL writing.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:44 PM
Not to mention that he probably gets 5 emails a day from family members wanting diagnoses/prescriptions for free.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:45 PM
surely a graduate of numerous levels of college level education could find out a way to handle such a delicate social situation taht could jeopardize their profession.
October 5th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
yeah. fuck this shit. “hey, Dr. cousin/niece/etc, I have (fill in symptom here)…what do you think it is? can you risk your medical license to prescribe me something so I can be a lazy ass and not go to an actual doctor’s office and wait in line for an appointment?”
