The Bridgeport Bluefish, of the independent Atlantic League, have made Brian Williams an offer that might be hard to turn down. The front office has offered Williams a six month paid ($500 stipend) internship with the team in its media department. Williams won’t be eligible to return to NBC until August and the Bluefish season starts in April.
His job: He’d be writing game recaps.
According to New Haven ABC affiliate:
The Bluefish staff members are reportedly huge fans of Williams and are firm believers in second chances. They don’t seem to be concerned about the controversy surrounding his false reporting of claiming to be on a chopper shot down in Iraq. In fact, they hope the seasoned anchor will bring the team good luck. Bluefish general manager Jamie Toole says “With his reporting style, we may even win a few of those games.”
This is the same minor league franchise that hired Pete Rose in June to coach first base — for a game. It’s also the same team that hired a dwarf to take an AB a few weeks later.
