    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/94601-atlanta-boston-hawks-fall-short-again-rivalry-with-celtics-still-in-question/show_full

    thanks!

  4. Congrats on the "promotion" for lack of a better term. Should really help out in the attempt to reach the major dream.

  5. Will do my best Gary—they ultimately make the final decision of what to publish and what not too, but I'll definitely bring their attention to your piece.

    Thanks as always for the submission.

    Zander

  6. Good for you man! Parrish comes off as a good person in his articles, blog, and mailbag, and that's a great thing for a person to do. I'm so jealous that you have a renowned professional contact to add to your resume when you job hunt and graduate!

    You write well already, but Parrish is a great model to patent your writing skills after. Best of luck man, hopefully you find the pay site you're after.

  7. I actually have no idea how my articles got on there. I google searched my name once and I found it out, but no I don't get paid.

    I like how you list Gary Parrish as your favorite writer. He's easily the best writer Sportsline has, and is a very knowledgeable college basketball guy who can be self-deprecating yet arrogant all in the same article.

  8. No, I'm not paid, are you launching a sports and are willing to pay? Or do you know of any sites that will?

  9. No, I'm not paid, are you launching a sports and are willing to pay? Or do you know of any sites that will?

  10. wow thanks dude this is great!

  11. Hey thanks for the pick man.

  12. Sent it along to them Gary—they ultimately choose what they want but I did my best.

    Keep up the great work!

    Zander

  13. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't even know it. Roll Tide!

  14. Gary....here's my email addy: LisaHorneonFox@yahoo.com

    I would be glad to help out a fellow journalist get a shot with a contract. I'm big on that! Talk to you later!

    -Lise

  15. Have to check in with a man that goes for Willie Mays.
