Hey all ... looking for some good examples of websites launched by sports journos who struck out on their own. John Canzano's web site is one that comes immediately to mind. If any of those folks are here, I would love for this to become a discussion of the pros and cons of doing such a thing.

This is a mighty huge loss. Sammy Batten was one of the best I've ever had the opportunity to work with ... Phone call created 31-year career for sportswriter

Little River Redskins in Kansas. They're probably going to double-down, though, knowing the makeup of that town. Last time there was a movement to change the name, a group of alumni erected a huge sign on the highway turnoff into town with imagery and the words, "You're Entering Redskins...

Yeah, but that Yellow Pad thing is real, dude. Your winner better bring it with some quality penmanship :)

When things get back to normal, this is going to be a fun gig, kids. Give 'em a shot.

Always a possibility. Not at that point just yet. Not in need of a giant check, just something regular.

My wife is retiring from the military and we need to land on our feet when that last day comes. I need a larger (and regular) income on that day. Military retirement pay, while nice, won’t pay the bills and her goal is not to find another job, but to start a small biz.

You pretty much hit on what I'm hoping for: A place where I can just do my thing until the time comes to ride into the sunset. I've done all the really flashy fun stuff. There are more projects I'd like to tackle that I think I can do just about anywhere. My only main requirements is that it be...

I hit ya back ... at least, I think I did.

Shoot, high praise indeed! Thanks!

This is probably me tipping way too much of my hand (wait, I've already been doing that, right? LOL) but I'm not concerned about the lower pay. If it's a living wage, I'm good. My wife will have her Army retirement pay plus whatever gig she winds up doing. We've got some loot stashed away. Got a...

LOL ... yeah, it's a complicated lover, to be sure. But ...

Yep, I get what you're saying about the biz. I have been fortunate in that quite a few people I know and love in this biz are still shoveling words into the paragraph furnaces. I've picked up some photography and video capabilities during these years of freelancing and have my own equipment. My...

I'm in North Carolina, but I've worked all over the country. While I'm really easy and can find the joy in just about any locale, my wife wants to live somewhere we can spend the days off out in nature. I agree. The great thing about being an Army family is moving expenses are unnecessary. When...

IIRC from my time at that joint, there might be a good reason why Scott made that mistake. I know I had a few different email addresses during my time there (do to a changing of systems) and during the transition from one to the next, emails were supposed to bounce automatically to the new...
