Cairo called game

[JON GRAFF @GraffJon]

That was tough to watch. I’ve been avoiding this reality of Bulls basketball without the King. Thank you for your heart, hustle, and muscle!

Thank for appearing on all the Bulls pregame shows I produced and treating a young producer with respect.

"I know exactly who he was, I know what his gift could do, and I know that we were all just a little happier, a little better off, for getting to hear the song...for as long as we did."

LONG POST: So, I’m looking for a job…

It’s not something I particularly like writing, but I try to live with brutal honesty these days. Sometimes that means being vulnerable.

Most of you know me from sports.
Calling games. Friday Night Drive. TV. Radio. Probably a few dumb memes along the way.

What you may NOT know is that for the last four-plus years, my full-time job has been leading communications for Central 301, a school district of more than 5,200 students.

That chapter has come to an end. Now I’m at a fascinating crossroads.

Kind of like Tom Hanks at the end of Cast Away, standing at that dusty rural Texas intersection with a map spread across the hood.

Four directions. No obvious road to take. And for the first time in a long time, no reason I have to choose the predictable one.

So…which way do I go?

I’m 46. I’ve spent 20+ years in television, radio, communications, education and broadcasting. I’ve won awards doing it. I’ve built things I’m proud of.

I absolutely love calling games. That’s not changing. Maybe I can expand the broadcasting portfolio. (Keep the assignments coming, people.)

Maybe I go back into a TV newsroom.

Maybe I start a newsletter. (About what? I’m taking ideas. 😂)

Maybe it’s another communications job. It doesn’t necessarily have to involve snow days and school assemblies.

Maybe it’s something I haven’t thought of yet.

Here’s probably the most honest part:

I’ve been through a lot of change the last couple of years. A divorce. Getting sober. And now this.

Maybe I thought I had all the answers 20 years ago. Hell, maybe I thought I did 10 years ago.

I didn’t. None of us do.

And I don’t want pride to keep me from asking other people for advice, ideas or feedback.

So…what do you see that I don’t?

What should I be doing? Who should I be talking to? Where do you think my experience fits?

Sports people seem to know somebody EVERYWHERE.

Know of an opening? Send it.

Know somebody? Tag them.

Have an idea I haven’t considered? Tell me.

DMs are open. And please repost this. Get it in front of somebody who doesn’t follow me yet.

And for the people who know me and might read all of this and worry: I’m good.

Maybe this is a reset I’ve needed for a while.

I’m standing at the intersection.

Let’s see which road this takes me down.

Now, enjoy this shaky production of an On3 inspired AI graphic 🤣
