Jason Friedman wants an intern. And when you write for Rockets.com and have a loyal readership, you can simply put this kind of request out onto the Internet and wait for responses. It's that easy. I promise, the "SB Nation Houston Internship" will come about... at some point. I think.
↵Anyway, here's the rundown (oh, and if you're not a college student, you might as well stop here):
↵↵↵So here's the deal: I'm offering an internship for someone to serve as my understudy during the Rockets' 2010-11 season. No, you're not going to be fetching coffee or anything like that - we're putting you to work. You'll be writing stories, shooting videos and recording podcasts for Rockets.com; quite simply, everything I do for our website you'll be doing too.

Friedman will choose the lucky intern-to-be from a stack of 500-word essays. You only have to write one of them. He has to read many of them, though, if you're essay blows him away, that could be your job!
↵It sounds like a fantastic opportunity for any aspiring journalists or general Rockets fanatics with a flair for writing and filming in general, so give it a look. In the meantime, I'll be accepting donut coupons in exchange for the chance to apply for our future, hypothetical unpaid internship. GET TO IT!
