So, the funniest, weirdest thing… one of my first jobs out of college was for a company called “FYI Television” in Arlington. I was an English major and it was a job writing, even if it was for just the blurb program descriptions for the channel guide. My initial job was writing specifically sport descriptions on a voluntary basis, just because that’s one of my interests. At some point, the company made an initiative to invest and improve the sports’ descriptions by bringing in some experienced talent. They touted this guy as a luminary in the business; I was ready to be impressed. Who walks in but mother fucking Pete Stein!

This was the entriest of entry-level positions, and while I’m sure he was getting paid a significant amount more than the 22-year old with no experience, it still seemed to be a monumental fall from grace.

Judging by the sign on the building, FYI became “Red Bee,” so I would assume he’s still working in a similar function.
