Joxy if you viewed being a sports reporter and working at WAFB as a mistake do you think you would be able to do your very best and carry your weight work wise with your co-workers?

ask me that on christmas day when my family is together, in connecticut, and im at work.

or when im sitting in the rain freezing my arse off to go to player interviews at 4:30 pm when i'm anchoring at 6. true story. happened today.)

or when driving round trip to ark pine bluff on halloween day by myself then lugging a camera tripod and computer by myself to a place i hope has internet connection to send something back in time for a 6 pm deadline when the game kicks off at 1:30.

or when i look at my sad bank account because local news doesnt pay shite

or when all my friends spend every weekend doing fun things and im at work.

on any of those days, i could easily pull out my cell phone and say leaving my family and friends up north was the biggest mistake i ever made.and maybe even at the time mean it. but in the end, if you are making the sacrifices, why would you not do it to the best of your abilities in hopes that one day it pays off. why would he move here and then not give 100% if the reason for coming here was to get to the next level. y'alls logic is way way off.

if i didnt want to one day make it in this business, why would i put up with all of this day in an day out. when i could get a 9-5 making at least twice what i make now.

you do it because you love what you do. barksdale loves what he does.

everyone is allowed a weak moment every now and then. cut the kid a break.
