Awesome. Don't qualify myself, but this is very cool nonetheless.

I read it more as a PSA for the young punks on the board.

Or in Mr. Iverson's words...

"He's supposed to be the executive director, and we in here talkin' about analysts. Analysts. Not a GM. Not a GM. Analysts."

Right-o. Meant that to read more like "maybe some FOFer could get this job... weirder things have happened." If it were just a potential side hustle, I probably could get an interview.
