Tosten's Bio

Currently Tosten's profile is under construction.
This is just a nice way of saying that he will post on here at a non-consistent basis.

He sometimes tends to blog a substantial amount about fantasy football at FFWritersWithHair.blogspot.com, and less occasionally about sports in general at SportsSchtick.sportsblognet.com. You might also see him over at the Union Blog at sportsblognet.com.

He chats every Monday night during the MNF game at that fantasy site he just mentioned, currently with 2 other people who bother to show up. If you could change that number, it would be greatly appreciated.

    That's a great piece, Tosten. The headline seems pretty solid to me, but if you wanted to go in a different direction, something like "Matt Bryant: The Bucs' Real-Life Hero" might be a good start. That's just the vague beginning of an idea, so take it for what it's worth...but in any event thanks as always for sharing your work, and please do keep the good stuff coming.

    Hope all is well,

    Ryan

    Tosten-

    They are a tough crowd, no doubt. No worries though, I can take the heat. I rarely read the comments there. :)

    Thanks for the words of encouragement, Tosten. "Bubba" is actually an old trademark, not a new one; I'm slowly trying to phase it out. If you want to see an example of flagrant overuse of not-that-cool literary device, check out some of my early stuff.

    haha trust me it was awkward to write. I sort of feel bad seeing as how he is a national hero and all but some of that was pretty funny. Thanks for reading

    Haha ya man

    A lot of the stuff I did last year was pretty low key, I'm going to try and put a few columns on their this year. I just did player rankings and stat projections last year, which got monotonous.

    I'm glad you read it though man.

    Hey Tosten,

    We're aware of the two bugs you pointed out and are doing everything we can to get them fixed ASAP.

    Out of curiosity: what browser are you using? (Internet Explorer 7.0, I.E. 6.0, Firefox, Safari, etc.) Mac or PC?

    Thanks for the heads up,
    Z

    You got it. :)

    That, and a shameless plug for my blog. And the fact that the Twins are off tomorrow. And the fact that I'm bored. :)

    Hey Tosten,

    This is the first time I have solicited reads, but I am pretty proud of my latest work. I have ranked every American League baseball team's logo, and separated them by division.

    If you find the time, I would be thrilled if you would stop by and offer your opinions!

    Thanks!
