ludden gone off to yahoo.com

Too much travel.

I would likely make less money than I do now.

The exposure is worth a lot I would assume. It could lead to national media attention, and then maybe a book or two?

That's just my uninformed 2cents.

Kori would be a great replacement.

Ludden will get much more exposure at Yahoo! than he could ever dream of having at the EN. Beat writers do it because they love the job, not where it will take them. Getting a book deal out of it is even more ridiculous an expectation (not on your part, though, but just in general by anyone).

Ludden made a great move for Ludden, and as long as the local print news exists, it will always have a focused market and the inherently low career ceiling that comes with it.

Tough for the EN, but they'll be a complete non-factor in 10 years anyway. I expect I'll never buy a subscription to it.

Sure, the exposure would be worth a lot to someone, just not to me.

Not that I'm saying I would even be considered for the job if I applied, but the travel isn't something I'd even be willing to do.

Wow- imagine a job that pays you to travel with the Spurs. Too cool!

[T Park]

Boy this blows.....

[spurster]

We all knew Ludden was so inside that the Spurs largely controlled what news he could and couldn't print. Even so, we learned more from him than all the resident insiders on all the Spurs forums. I would guess that it will be a while until the Spurs trust another reporter to that extent.

Ludden was a big homer writer. Just what Pop wanted.

From the Ranger to the National.

CONGRATS TO JOHNNY, awesome, to hear his take on nBA levels

Buck Harvey is one of the best sports columnist out there. great writer.

I wish he went national instead of Johnny.

Either Way, whats in the San Antonio Water for god sakes.

Im happy for everyone.

[AlamoSpursFan]

I think Johnny Blaze would be an excellent replacement, what with Kori not interested and all...

[blackbucket]

Anyone know what it pays? I heard around 65k. Just curious. Pretty good perks with the job if you are a big fan.

I don't think it pays anywhere close to that to start out. Johnny Blaze probably knows for sure.

[ducks]

65 does seem a bit much

[Fast Dunk]

Kori would be a great replacement.

[BOHOLANO#21]

i'll miss that bas . i think he s=is a good beat writer...

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Johnny Ludden was probably the best beat writer in the league. This sucks.

was thinking the same thing, now he'll never write about the Spurs



you should apply for his spot now
