News Alert:

Second News Alert:

FarveFan to be writing biting NBA commentary soon.

Details at 10 o' clock.

Good grief, third news alert:

Ugie's second article for Cdub Enterprises is now up.

I'm shameless, aren't I?

City of Fools · **Posted:** Fri Oct 09, 2009 12:24 pm

W_Z to be joining the ranks with thoughts on the Premiership...

suckers playground · **Posted:** Fri Oct 09, 2009 12:31 pm

Ok, you guys, isn't this what we have a message board for?

Kidding.

Seriously, though, I'm giving you the same advice I gave LQC & Ugie: monetize. If you need help in this regard, I'd be willing to either do some work myself or pass it along to a friend. Seems to me there's no real point in doing a sports blog in 2009 if you're not getting readers & cash.

City of Fools · **Posted:** Fri Oct 09, 2009 12:33 pm

I started it small scale for fun, but talk to me...what in the world could I get money for? What does this monetize mean?

And I'll keep the updates to a once a day max from here on out. I'm embarrased for myself.

suckers playground · **Posted:** Fri Oct 09, 2009 12:42 pm

I don't have the patience to write a general purpose tutorial for the board, but I'm available via email and willing to help where I can.

Farve? I think I just discovered who was behind the Brett Farve mult.

Wow - the site looks great. As I suspected, the contributors from the board that have posted on your blog are extremely well written - myself not included.

Loved Ugie's thoughts on Golf except for the forecast of SNOW THIS WEEKEND - WTF??? (PANIC STORMWATCH 2009).
Favrefan has an uncanny grasp on the Bulls and I agree with his thoughts on TT - the guy is like Jekyl and Hyde. Not surprised at all about Crosscheck's hockey accumen - dead on.

it's only going to get better...I hope...

Glad to have everyone on board, it's been a busy few days. So much easier to blog when you can do everything offline and then go on for a few minutes and post everything. We'll see what happens from here...

City of Fools · **Posted:** Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:45 am

200 views...thanks for the attention, guys...

we'll have some new articles up today and tomorrow...

City of Fools · **Posted:** Mon Oct 12, 2009 10:51 am

Zack, I didn't get it...?

But welcome on board, I think you're the last piece from this here board...

Hoping to have a Orton article and/or Singletary article up soon myself...I gotta write something or everybody's going to get more popular than me...

City of Fools · **Posted:** Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:46 pm

new articles up...also waiting on W_Z's maiden voyage and an article from FarveFan...

FavreFan · **Posted:** Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:48 pm

Crosscheck's hockey thoughts...

Uguie's golf thoughts...

For your reading pleasure.

Looks like the blog is shaping up pretty nicely. If you would like other ideas on layout and whatnot, I am sure we could turn that sucker into something similar to SecondCityHockey or Waggleroom.com

City of Fools · **Posted:** Mon Oct 12, 2009 2:43 pm

Like both sites. I would need help making the site look any better, web design is obviously not my thing. Wordpress does not have a lot of options available for a nice look. Anybody answer to cheap (read: free) web design? Other than that, this site has far exceeded my initial expectations...

Can I write an article on guys who do not pay their NASCAR bets?

FavreFan · **Posted:** Mon Oct 12, 2009 2:48 pm

CoF I have a little over half of the article I talked to you written. Still editing and coming up with angles to finish it up. It might be a bit long but I like what I have done so far. Also have been gathering notes and outlines for team by team NBA preview, I'll get that to you before Opening Night.
