I would like to say that I think it's important to write your own words because you feel they are worthy, not because they may be popular. I write from my head and sometimes from my heart. I typically write pieces that offer analysis, breakdown,and a more critical view on what's being said. I also write things that I think will genuinely help people.
Good articles stand on their own merit.
The fishing article above, my most read, was the first article in a section of the site that is still relatively unknown, and I doubt if I shared it with more than 5-10 people.

Read the Bleacher Tips, the art of the headline is what made that article.

You can reach me on any of my websites, here, or at DaveMc883@yahoo.com

Hey there David, how are you?

I wrote a new article..if you have time, I'm hoping on your feedback: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/273629-stepping-back-from-sports-happy-birthday-to-eminem

Be optimistic, my writing is rusty for taking time off from Bleacher..and you'll also find yourself stepping back from sports for a moment!

The White Marlin tourney in Ocean City, Maryland is this week.

I didn't get any contracts this year so I'm not going, but one of my boys is catching this year.

I'll keep you posted.

Check my archives...my 2nd and 3rd articles.

We can get a drag racing tab if we pump it up enough.
'
I help out with my neighbor's IHRA/NHRA dragster...I inventory the shop bi-monthly for Vonnie Mills...she cuts my hair...it's a fair trade.

When I actually crewed in the '80s, we won the NHRA Super Gas title at the Gatornationals in '87.

I do follow drag racing but only in passing so I couldn't really talk about it. I don't think there is a drag racing section but there is a general motorsports section and you might find something under there.
