He's also early 40s, which I think they like to have as a demo for talent.

He's also (too frequently IMO) a bit of a shill for the various powers (kisses a LOT of nascar ass, as do virtually all of their reporters on that beat now that I think about it) so I'm sure he's quite the popular figure in HQ circles.

He's a good enough writer, turns out a 2-3 even damned good pieces a year, has a nice (faux IMO) "everyman" vibe to some of his work ... if "everyman" is a bit on the lightweight side, which they probably are now tbh.
