Matt Bank '04 earns spot in Sports Guy's 'Sweet 16'

By Kelsey Blodget | March 4, 2005

When Bill Simmons, ESPN's "Sports Guy," launched a worldwide search for a new intern, Matt Bank '04 leapt at the chance to escape his humdrum corporate job and landed a spot among the 16 finalists. Simmons, a popular writer for ESPN.com's Page 2 and ESPN: The Magazine, created the contest not only to replace his old intern, who left to work for ESPN talk show host Jim Rome, but also to give a young 20-something a shot at the big time. "I know what it's like to be out of college -- with no freaking idea where your life is headed, with nobody giving you a chance, with your parents leaning on you to get a real job -- only you can't shake the feeling that you just need one lucky break," Simmons wrote on Page 2. Bank, and the 4,500 others who applied during the four-day period when Simmons accepted applications, could relate to his experience. Simmons asked contestants to write 400 words about why they should be his intern.
