    I have lots of experience tailgating people on my drive home.

    That's not very professional from a "full member".

    To categorize "Tailgating Ideas" as a "very well-known and respected website," even in the context of, say, the middle of a seminar at a tailgating convention on Well-Known and Respected Tailgating Websites, is unintentially hilarious. Nothing worse than a tailgating site that people haven't heard of, or even worse, don't respect.

    I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I 100% disagree with what you said. I ask you to tell me any tailgating websites with better content, that's my challenge to you.

    I agree tailgating.com has good content, however tailgating.com is more about 1 mans journey which I do find fascinating.

    Just as funny is the phrase, "several well known tailgating writers."

    They may be well known in a very narrow circle of readers, but that's about it.

    Dear "Hank Scorpio" Maybe it's time to stop criticizing and move on. I am sure you have a very busy schedule to tend to. Enjoy life.

    Dear " Hank Scorpio" since you are an expert regarding the Tailgating and Sports Industry - what experience if any do you have, what are your credentials, lets take a look at your resume?

    hometeam, don't take offense to anything other posters say. Some are just being funny, others have been around here a long time and have seen a helluva lot of garbage come through the freelance boards when they're trying to find some decent work.

    If you're legit and you pay fairly and promptly (hell, if you're not legit but pay fairly and promptly, that's OK too), then you've got nothing to worry about. But if you're talking $15 for a story written by the world's greatest parking lot grillmaster, well, it's gonna be open season here. Until we delete your thread entirely.

    I appreciate that. We do not pay $15 for a great story/article I can tell you we pay significantly more than that.

    Our pay is based on the persons experience and if pictures are included. So for all of those who have emailed me rest assured if we work together you be very satisfied with the pay and being part of something great.

    Thanks to the good guys and girls here, I appreciate the responses and support for what is a real and legitimate opportunity.
