Glad she found something that seemed more up her alley, I think she will do well in features. She wasn't a bad writer, there were some things she got wrong, but she wasn't nasty about it like Myron. Hopefully the replacement is fair, knowledgeable and has a passion for college basketball, someone who isn't a fan, but who has that passion for information that a fan has.
And the patience to put up with the fans.
Maybe Myron wants to come back?
I thought Amelia did an excellent job. Hopefully on to new and bigger things for her. Good luck Amelia!
What Restaurants does Bigfoot like to patronize?
Seriously, I got tired of all the comments about whiskey, food etc in her basketball articles and chats.
At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy nut, I wonder if this new job is payback/a reward for having been harassed by MegaTongue - a "we'll make it up to you" from the Strib.
Is she taking over for C.J.?
I thought she was way below average at best as a writer.
I thought it was a nice touch at first, but she went a little too heavy with it last year. Can't totally blame her since she didn't exactly have a lot of positives to write about last year. So instead of writing a bunch of all negative stuff she wrote some negative and then talked about whiskey and Bigfoot the rest of the time.
Not sure if the payback/reward thing is true, but it wouldn't blow me away if that was a factor. When that stuff happens a company has to be very careful about how they handle the employee who was harassed. I think she has some writing talent though, and just more of an interest in the food/travel stuff. She's a better fit writing features than blogging.
I see a desire to get off the road and to get in a job with a more "normal" routine.
Who will keep Sid awake when he dozes off courtside?
Well whomever takes over best buckle up cause its gonna be a bumpy ride.

People from Minnesota do have accents. Go further north to Bemidji or Crookston and you will really notice it. I have relatives who have a much stronger minnesotan accent than others, but when I travel down to the southern part of the United States I am asked about the accent often and I talk nothing like the exaggerated version in Fargo but it is there.
there was no way she even ever played the game
