    If you are losing money covering events, you shouldn't cover it. The event doesn't matter when it comes to clips.

    I saw that long time ago, gotta good laugh out of the irony of what he said. Indeed, except the guy talked the talk for so long believe me and yet he never backed any of it up. The guys pretty insane I've seen worse from his posts on other forums.

    I'm not sure the clips would be better when it comes to a gamer, if it's off a high school game. A college or pro contest could provide competitors better able to provide better answers than a high school kid, and thus more to work with, for starters. And it may prove to a potential employer that you aren't intimidated by big events, as some are.

    Exactly, high school kids cover high school sports and some who can't handle the larger limelight because simply put they just aren't able to stand up in college or pro interviews/games/etc.

    I'm posting anonymously, yes, but Starting17, if you're so confident in your work and eager for exposure, why not tell us who you are, post a link to your stuff? You'd be doing it for free, so shouldn't be anything awkward about it ...
