    My wife took a job in Chicago and we're moving there next month and I'm looking for some help (not with the move -- I'm no Keith Hernandez  ;D). Does anybody know much about The Chicago Sports Review? I'm trying to put together some freelance gigs with the hopes of getting back into a daily paper (don't ask my why).
    How respectable is CSR? Anybody know what they pay? How open are they to submissions?
    I know some of this can be found online and I plan to contact the editor directly, but I'm just wondering what people know about the magazine. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I've met the managing editor there and checked out the paper, so I think I can answer your questions:

    1. Yes, I know about it.

    2. Fairly respectable.

    3. Not much -- I remember hearing $50 for a print story, and nada if you want to contribute something online.

    4. Very.
