Hey Shawn,

Articles are filtered on Bleacher Report according to a variety of factors, namely:

1) Timeliness of article
2) Reputation of writer
3) Average star rating
4) Comments and hits generated by your article

I gave your piece 5 stars, but beyond that it's up to the Community to decide whether or not it's good enough for the front page.

I'd strongly recommend reading through this blog post I wrote on how to get your articles more exposure: http://blog.bleacherreport.com/?p=36

Also, I want to let you know that going forward, we're going to have a section of the site devoted to general sports pieces like this that don't fit nicely into one particular section. Hang tight Shaun and let me know if you have further questions.

Keep up the great work!

Z
