I've finally got around to writing something about the Tiger's current plight. Take a look for me and see what you think.

BREAKING NEWS! The entire WWE creative team has been diagnosed with ADHD!
It’s been a while since I have written a non-competition article, but I think I come up with a good one.
A satirical look at some on-goings of the WWE, and reasons it implies the writers have ADHD…

I've written an article about the most under-rated wrestler in professional wrestling today, Booker T. I think that this piece is probably my best so far, so your input would be much appreciated.

Well, you should post it under something like NFL or something that gets a good bit of reads. Definitely add a BR Chatter tag, maybe a Sports and Society tag too. And classify it as Sports, not opinion. You'll have to do that after you post it though. So once you publish it, click edit, then you can add the Chatter, S and S, and Sports tag.

hey adam, i will definitely be doing a hull piece. carolina has asked me as well.

cos im going by the order the teams finished in the league, it has taken quite a while to get here. with the sunderland article out yesterday, that means hull's up next, and i think it will be out within the next 2-3 days.
