This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit. My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy. - Marine Corps Rifleman's Creed.
I am an SEC football addict trapped in enemy territory up in New York City. Dreadnaught is the first place I go to get the latest football news. As a fellow aspiring sports writer I have a learned a lot from reading your blog. I especially loved the Brady Quinn story. You know how I know he’s gay…
I’m contacting you specifically because we recently launched our own website FanDome.com (think: a really organized Youtube of sports + blogs + team networks). We have developed a network for sports fans to share videos and blogs. We made MySpace and Facebook applications to spread the member blogs to an audience of 200k+. We would be honored if you consider working with us.
I would love the opportunity to discuss working with you and your site in a manner that enriches the fan landscape and is mutually beneficial. With over 35,000 sports videos categorized and searchable by sport, date, team, player, and numerous other groupings, we can be an invaluable resource for fans and professionals alike. We are extremely interested in expanding our offerings beyond video and news and are actively pursing avenues to embrace the blogosphere.
Check out our site. This is our model page for Ohio State (a.k.a. the SEC’s doormat):

We are currently putting the finishing touches on the other pages so it will look more like the OSU team page. This is the first draft of the LSU if you are interested:

This has helped me get through the summer… a lot. Can’t wait to see him whack Eli Manning next season.
Very nice Schedule. Easy to understand and straight to the point.
Thanks for the info.
