“Going to the Pros” or "AAA to XXX" or "From Prose to Pros"

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/03/reporter-says-pay-cut-forced-him-to-set-up-prostitution-ring/1

Kevin Provencher, an award-winning reporter who says a salary cut made him desperate for money pleaded guilty to setting up a prostitution ring in Massachusetts. His customer base must also have been reporters, because whenever they began to perform a sex act with one of his employees, they would call out, “This just in.”

Provencher thinks prostitution should be as accepted in society as an inalienable right, like uncensored journalism. Basically, he believes in Freedom of the Press-on Nails.

E spent his career working as a sport-writer, and he saw the prostitution ring was his way of finally getting in the game.

He says sports-reporting is a lot like prostitution. The most exciting thing you can expect is a close finish.

He monitored his pimping operation in almost the same way he paid attention to the details in sports; by keeping an eye on the balling.

Going from sports writer to pimp was easy. He was already used to watching other people score.

During soccer season, every time one of his girls would open her legs he’d yell, "Goal!"

When covering the PGA tour, every time one of his girls would take a new client, he’s call out,"It's in the hole!"

A sports reporter as a pimp. Said one of his working girls, "After local news and weather, you're coming next."

As a sports writer, he didn't think of himself as a pimp. He thought of himself as a coach. Specifically, a head coach.

He would bring these young girls to sleazy hotel rooms and completely take advantage of them. So he was less like a sports writer and more like an NFL player.

For intimidating a prostitute against testifying, along with the pimping charges, he was sentenced to 2 and a half years in prison, where he’ll take one for the team.
