    When fan boy gets the scoop

    I agree to a certain extent - like somebody above wrote, I want to get it right first... I was just curious as to who got it first.....no particular reason

    When fan boy gets the scoop

    Just because I am curious...who was the first paper/website to get this scoop?

    Did any major web sites cover Giants-Patriots?

    This goes back to a previous point - do you really need two gamers? They will both tell you that "team A beat team B." Even sites that do have multiple writers at events should focus on different sidebars, features, etc. - Not the gamer. That's just my opinion though - I'd love to hear what...

    NASCAR writer Ed Hinton leaves Orlando Sentinel

    Not that I think what happened to Ed was fair (personally, I don't think it was)...but, what 20-something kid wouldn't want to take over this position even if it was for 1/3 his salary. Last time I checked, 50 grand in Orlando was nothing to sneeze at

    Changes at the Sporting News?

    jaredk - I miss your 22-year-old cutoff by one year - am I not eligible? =p All jokes aside, there are some very valid ideas in your post - notably about the bloggers. I will admit, even though I am part of the younger generation, I do not see them credible in the least bit and would not have...

    NASCAR Business Feature

    Hey everybody. Below is a NASCAR related article I wrote last week - i'll leave it at that - hopefully it explains itself. Thanks in advance, JAM Technology Takes a Pit Stop In NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series competition, a fraction of a second is everything. Need proof? Just ask Mark Martin...

    Everything I write is terrible

    Thanks for the advice Buckweaver, I read a lot of things - now I just have to narrow it down to writers that are good - and not just those that I respect (I am learning more and more that there is a difference in the two). Double Down - You are an effin stud - I missed your post before I wrote...

    Everything I write is terrible

    I am glad I am not the only one like this - luckily I am getting more and more compliments from co-workers and readers (like yourself). I just wish that I would get more feedback - both positive and negative - thats the only way I'll grow.

    Hey, AP! Move the damned Daytona agate!!!

    GB-Hack, Yes - NASCAR will not offer official results until Monday for all three of their top series (Cup, Busch, Truck). Sunday's (Or Saturday Night's depending on the race) is always unofficial

    Beckham to MLS?!

    I am just wondering how they are going to come up with the 250 million? Wasnt this how the NASL died many years ago?

    Here's a new Internet-based question ...

    Very logical solution - I would agree with this

    Here's a new Internet-based question ...

    That's the problem though - and not to be mean to anybody on this board, but do you believe in the honor system when it comes to fellow scribes? I cannot speak from experience, since I have not entered any competitions, but I am sure those that have would love to take another crack at stories -...

    Digital voice recorders ... I'm shopping

    I agree with everybody in here about the Olympus - they are pretty pricey...but worth it. I have never tried the ipod though - is it really that good?
