Next Stop, Athletic Director
Did you hear the one about the Red Sox beat writer who left the Boston Globe in order to become director of hockey operations for the NHL's Minnesota Wild? Chris Snow, the beat writer in question, covered the Wild for a season at the Strib before accepting the Globe job. Snow was also 24, which made his ability to get those positions profoundly annoying. Everyone says that he is really good, though.
It does raise an interesting question though: Which industy has a better future outlook the NHL or Newspapers?

newspapers.
I read the Globe's coverage of the Sox almost obsessively. OK, obsessively. Chris Snow is really good, and when they posted the story about him leaving for Minnesota, I thought it was a joke at first (but maybe his departure explains why the Twins just swept the Sox). Why can't some podunk hockey team hire Dan Shaughnessy instead?!
