Sħãlïq™ Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) ESPN's John Hollinger is joining the front office of the Memphis Grizzlies Hollinger had been in town last month for the ESPN televised game against the New York Knicks and spent much of the game meeting with Levien in one of the arena's luxury boxes, but Hollinger gave no hint at the time that the duo were discussing a job. Hollinger's presence at the game wasn't unusual; he had made several previous trips to FedExForum as a reporter, including covering the Grizzlies' second-round playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the spring of 2011.Memphis Flyer Hmm, good move.

kingfish Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hollinger is a tool. Surprising any team would give him a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Pretty awesome for the sports blogging community. The Houston Astros (baseball) recently hired Kevin Goldstein, a blogger/writer, to be their director of scouting. Really cool trend. I will miss reading Hollinger's chats while slacking at work, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a matter of time (hopefully) before they started catching up in hockey and basketball, especially basketball. I'm not a huge Hollinger fan, but hopefully this is a big step forward for management in the NBA, moving away from former players as almost a necessity in offices.
