Drop everything when news breaks and use your deep knowledge of advanced metrics, analytics and research tools to create supporting content, often with a deadline of minutes or seconds!
Working in Research also means you:
Work a schedule that will vary by month and/or season -- you'll get to dive deeply into sports and have enough variety to keep your days and week fresh;
