Have you ever considered being a columnist?
I appreciate the compliment, but you don't can't eat and raise a family on sportswriter wages, especially with the internet these days. LOL
I've written in the past professionally, but left it behind for a more lucrative career in the business world. I still enjoy penning phrases for fun, especially with all you yahoos about our favorite team. Not enough people write well anymore, but it's encouraging to see so many post on sites like this. The more you write, the better you get at it, and I can't think of a more fun way to work on and fine-tune the writing skills than this right here!
I enjoy it, and enough enjoy reading it, that it's infinitely worth it.
Thanks again.
