    This is where I rely on and trust the coaches. Sports I've watched my whole life, like baseball, football and basketball, I can keep the basics, but volleyball just goes too quick to keep everything, and there's a lot of stats I'm not familar with, so I concentrate on the action but, like in anything else, I'm looking for story angles.

    I'm new to the business and wondering how I can write for ESPN.com. I hate writing and talking to people, but think getting into games for free would be cool, plus I can bring a date. (It beats paying for dinner and a movie).

    I just graduated from DeVry with an associates in computer repair, but think Sports Writing is better than working at Best Buy. What are my chances? I have a blog and am a contributor at Bleacher Report with five articles already in only a year.

    By the way, when people ask for clips, do you mean paper clips? I have plenty of those. By the way, how do I make a PDF.

    Anyway, I'm free to work for anyone. Of course, I won't work for anything less than $75,000 a year.

    Most college freshmen use the phrase "Skip to My Lou." It's trending on Twitter.

    Well, there was Rafer Alston. Would have been big when this "kid" was in middle school.

    This may very well be a sock puppet but most folks seem to have no idea how we get information from games and assume that we have someone at hundreds of events each week.

    Also, not many people outside the industry know what agate is.
