Yeah, as far as career status goes, it’s gonna take a major hit at cocktail parties. The only people who will be remotely impressed are the lawyers who know better, but for most folks, “I’m an attorney” kind of ends the boring career talk, either because they’re sufficiently impressed or, more likely, because they don’t really feel like talking to an attorney about his job (I don’t truck socially with too many lawyers).

This “blogger” business is just gonna make me have longer conversations with people I don’t much care for to begin with.

Jason wins the day.  Damn, I wish I had thought to put that in the post.

Craig, I don’t know if it will answer the question, but I suggest you read the feature on Bill Simmons in the NY Times today.  It points out that Simmons writes about basketball - that’s a game people play when there’s not Hot Stove League, or so I’m told - from the comfort of his living room.  I think that given he only writes online now, he and you are in the line of work.  Whatever that is.

You keep the law license, that will make you $$$ even if you don’t practice, as you will be NBC Sports legal expert.

I was going to say “Web Content Generator” for a major network, but Stand-Up Philospher is much better.

Attractive Lady: “So Craig, what do you do for a living?”

Craig: “Well darling, I’m a professional disseminator” *wink*wink*

I like the retired lawyer idea, but you should tell them you “retired from the law.”  That just sounds impressive (though it may actually mean that you’ve stopped obeying the law as well, which wouldn’t be a good thing).  Questions indeed.

Simmons jumped the shark in ‘04 after the Sox won the WS, and he became just as insufferable as most arrogant Red Sox* fans.  He used to be funny when he’d write from his perspective as a hardcore fan, but then he moves out to LA, joins the Jimmie Kimmel show, and becomes just another writer who loses two years in a row to his wife in nfl picks when she, admittedly, picks based off team colors/logos/etc.

Oh yeah, and CC is far funnier than Simmons has been in a long time.

*not saying all Sox fans are arrogant, but you know the ones who are, and how much of a pita they are to deal with (same goes for NYY fans).

“I have a special practice, I only have one client"Then return to your hotel room and await the call.
BTW, are people now saying we didm’t even BUY the WS? That’s disappointing, I kind of figured it may have been the answer.

Just so everyone knows- The Yankees have more wins in November than the NY Giants and Jets combined- and throw in the Nets.Have the Devils been bought by the Steinbrenners?

RE The Law License - I’d keep it active and set up a little practice by the ballpark representing all the folks who bought condos in the Buggy Works building who will be suing someone over the casino moving in next door.

RE Your Title - Your writing about baseball for the readers over at NBC, I think Ring Master will suffice.
