A word from our fine friends at Comcast with details on a pretty awesome contest which can help you win a job in sports media. (A job in sports media? Wait, that's... that's what I want. I probably should, like, uh, enter this contest.) Basically, if you like Facebook and Twitter, you might be able to get a job in liking Facebook and Twitter.
