About Jason »

I am the Atlanta Falcons correspondent for CBSSports.com's RapidReports. Any updates regarding news and/or player performance can be found here.

I also run a blog dedicated to sports at the University of Georgia called The Chapel Bell, which I encourage all Dawg fans to check out.

I recently graduated from the University of Georgia in May, where I was the sports editor for the Red & Black. I also was on the Georgia football beat for the past two seasons. I received a degree in journalism, specializing in magazines.

Besides writing for the Red & Black during college, I have freelanced and been a stringer for the following publications: The Athens Banner-Herald, The South Bend Tribune, The Wilmington Star-News, Sporting Youth Magazine and TotalUGA.com.

For my podcast, I use Skype and me and another Saints writer talk and record it, you can listen to a few on that site. You could do yours any kind of way. I can't offer an payment or anything. And for like say when the Falcons play the Saints, I can have you on my podcast and you could have a Saints writer on yours if you want. Its your decision. I also post Saints articles on my site which you could do if you wanted.
I use a free site host.
Any questions?

Hi, I'm thinking a podcast network called the NFC South Network, would like to know if you or anyone else in the Falcons community would be interested in hosting the Falcons podcast.
The Saints podcast is already up and running, you can view it at http://www.saintspodcast.webs.com, please contact me ASAP.
