STATE YOUR CASE: Who made a better sports editor?

BY CURTIS LUNDSTROM

sports editor

The only argument I need is for you, our readers, to google #DateTavin.

Ladies, you especially. The dude’s got game, pun intended. I mean, who better to fill the spot of sports editor than the first guy cut from all the high school teams?

Tavin is the next Skip Bayless with his vast reservoir of obscure sports knowledge. When you want to win a sports argument, Tavin is your man. His skill set plays perfectly into the job requirements:

1. He’s got a wicked beard. 

Just look at it. It’s majestic. It’s like a furry ferret.

2. His musical talent surpasses his athletic talent.

He plays the guitar, which everyone knows is the key to winning games.

3. He loves the Scottish. 

His Facebook profile picture is a stormtrooper in a kilt for crying out loud.

4. His heckling skills are front row material. 

The Aggies won eight straight games after he gave up the sports editor position and took up his spot in Section F. 5. His list of priorities goes as follows: girls, sleep, girls, food, sports.

Tavin clearly has all the necessary characteristics of a phenomenal sports editor.

I may have the looks, the beard, the guitar and the ladies, but Curtis is by far the better sports editor. 

What most people don’t know is that before I was Curtis’ boss, he was my boss at a local business which shall remain unnamed. 

While we both left after a few months – I was forced to clean the bathroom with a toothbrush and he was let go for growing a week-old beard – it was the mutual love for sports we shared that caused me to bring him on staff two years ago when I was first hired in his current position. 

Anyway, he’s the better boss because he treats his writers right. Since I left, staff meetings have commonly been held at a local sports bar and our staff has won competitions against other Utah student newspapers. 

Most of all, Curtis’ ego has grown like mine. No one ever believes me, but the chair has some sort of magical properties that make people arrogant. 

It’s probably better he took my place, just so I don’t get too cocky for my own good.
