In this quote, Chico Harlan seems to be expressing some frustration and embarrassment with his current job covering sports. While he needs the “means to an end and a paycheck” that this job provides, he suggests he does not actually enjoy or be passionate about sports reporting.
The quote implies Harlan would prefer to report on topics he finds more meaningful or interesting, but for now feels stuck in sports journalism solely as a way to earn a living. He appears ready to stop covering sports when another job opportunity arises that better matches his interests and talents.
