Reverse Rooney Rule

Steve has an interview on Friday but he knows he has no shot at getting the job. They're bringing him in to fulfill the Reverse Rooney Rule so their calendars appear full.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
