77 percent of male sports fans want my job, I think

A friendly p.r. firm sent me the results of a Sporting News poll called "Fandemonium," in which the magazine asked sports fans various questions about various things.

One finding: 77 percent of males who are heavy sports enthusiasts responded affirmatively to the statement: "If I could have any job I wanted, it would be in sports."

It was unclear whether this meant playing centerfield for the Yankees, blogging for Newsday or cleaning the rest rooms at Nassau Coliseum.

I used to be a correspondent for the Sporting News, back in the day when I covered the Giants. Now I am not.
