Package # 3: FAMU QB Battle

The last package, the one I’ve been waiting for – the feature. I’ve been anticipating the feature because I know I’m going to do something with sports. Plus, we got the opportunity to pitch ideas for this package.

I pitched professor Jones four sports stories in this area, he decided to give me the story on FAMU’s quarterback battle. Cool! I have a nice rapport with FAMU’s athletic department , being a former intern, and I can use some football footage from Vaughn Wilson, FAMU’s Sport Information Director.

Not to mention, I’m pretty cool with Damien Fleming, one of the quarterbacks competing. BUT, in no way, shape or form does that conflict with my job to remain unbiased. Not trying to compare myself to one of the best journalist of my era, but it’s kind of like Stephen A. Smith and Kobe Bryant, the have a personal relationship, but at the end of the day Stephen A. has a job to do, and he does it very well.

Anyway, so, I got one SOT an b-roll know I need to do another interview and my standup. After Head Coach Earl Holmes kept me waiting for an hour he finally allows me to come into his office to do the interview. Then, I go outside to onto the field for my standup, after about 10 takes I can finally breath easy, because as I stated in my first post simple editing like this comes easy.

Don’t just take my word for it, check it out:
