Yeah, the Royals are in first place right now. But are they a contender or a pretender? Check out my Division Leader Contenders/Pretenders piece and see what you think.

I know it's sacrilegious for a life-long Chicagoan to compare anyone to MJ, but I done did it:

OK I got the site up it's http://thekcse.weebly.com/
Feel free to check it out. It's still a work in progress so I hope to make some major improvements to the site. I put your Kansas City Royals article about the recipe to winning the AL central so you can check that out too if you wish.
If there's anything you think I should do differently or change let me know. My email is jordan_lanning@yahoo.com or you can just leave me a note on my b/r profile.

Thanks,
Jordan

You can write stuff on b/r and then just give me the link to it and I can put it on my site..
I'm still working on the site and I hope to have it up by the end of this week.

Hey Tyler,

I'm making my own website on Weebly and was wondering if you would like to be one of my writers. You won't have to do anything really except posting a note on my b/r profile with the article.
My site will consist of Kansas City sports articles (Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats, and Missouri Tigers).
My site isn't up yet because I'm trying to get some writers on before.

Thank You,
Jordan

I decided to write a peice on how money has conquered the world of sports and has made a turn for the worse. Would love for you to check it out and to give some input. Also, if no trouble just send it to the other bleacher creatures on here ( other writers). This involved all of us sports writers, so of course I want to get different persectives on it. Thanks.

Hey Tyler,

Decided to have some fun with this. It's a humor piece about Survivor for athletes. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it :)

If you get the time, I'd love to hear what you think. If not, no worries.

As always, really appreciate the support!

Tyler, I really appreciate the kind note. I'm honored that you think of my writing in that way :)
