Running the Show... Part 2

As my readers know, the Randy Moss saga has plagued my internship from virtually the beginning.  Throughout my time here, Randy Gene has complained about his contract, got traded to Minnesota, returned to New England for a game, got released from the Vikings, then the final step (or so we think) of his 2010 journey occurred on the day Art could not come in.

Throughout the day, I had to deal with the Villanueva/Garnett fiasco (see part 1) then at 4:00 pm eastern time, we would find out where Randy Moss would land.  Is anyone familiar with the waiver system?  Basically, every team in the league got a chance to pick up the wayward wide-out, starting with the worst team in the league and moving its way up the ranks.

It was my responsibility to keep track of the waiver process to see where Moss lands.  It was very tense in the newsroom, because everyone wanted to see where he landed

It was a huge day for me, I handled heavier duty than I did all semester long.  There was a whole lot of pressure on my shoulders, I think I pulled it off.
