I read the whole thing getting so excited

Then saw a High School Degree was required. Nuts

I stopped when they told me I had to make an account.

That’s just too much work

He's still in HS.

I wonder if they provide housing or if you are required to live in your mom's basement

What?

I was worrying they wouldn’t ALLOW you to stay in your mom’s basement

got the impression they were looking for managers to oversee the stat guys

it’s funny how the manager can get away with a high school diploma at minimum, but the stat guys probably need a bachelors degree or higher

This.

They stressed “newsroom experience” so much that is just seems like a management position, not a stats position.

At 5:30 PM EDT today Starting today at 5:00 PM EDT, witness one of the greatest renderings of visual sound effects ever!

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

UPDATE 2: Vol. I, No. 1 (July, 2011) is now up!
