Is the Sigma 18-250mm zoom adequate?

Just wondering if the Sigma 18-250mm zoom would work for basic shooting where there isn't time to do lens swaps? I shoot news occasionally with my F5 and while the stations love the low DOF look and quality of the F5, the logistics of filming with short-range Nikon zooms is tricky.
I notice you've used the Sigma in your storm-chasing Alistair. I know the lens trombones, ramps and has a very short focus throw, but is the manual focus usable? Does the image jump when you pull focus. Any advice much appreciated.
