The MMQB Fan Blog: We Need Your Help.

So, we’re going to try a little experiment this year. We’re going to run a fan blog intermittently during the season, and we’re looking for some fans to help us run it. The idea is to have a fan of all 32 teams writing occasionally during the season—maybe when your team is playing a rival, or when your team has just won or lost a huge game, or when there’s something big affecting your team.

We’re not sure now how much we’re going to use it, or when exactly we will use it. We look at it as something that can supplement the reader experience. When the Ravens play the Steelers, for instance, we may ask our Pittsburgh and Baltimore bloggers to write short pieces on what it means to hate the opposing team—and why the feelings are so strident.

If you’re interested in helping us out—for a small fee—please send us a 200-word essay on the reason why you love the team you love. Send it to talkback@themmqb.com, and we’ll pore over them and contact you if we’re interested in your help.

Send those pieces to us by Thursday, and we’ll let you know in the next couple of weeks what our plans are. Thanks for your help. I think the fan blog is going to help make our third year the best year we’ve had.

I can't figure out if they mean they'll pay you a small amount or you have to pay them a small amount. Fee sounds like you paying them.

That was my assumption as well. A fee always means you pay, not them. Then there's also the question of what Peter King means by "a small fee." :sneaky:

Initially, Before I saw the "Fee" part. I immediately thought of volunteering @-X- for the position, because he writes so well, when he's inspired! BUT I know he wouldn't pay any F-ing Fee, and He wouldn't work on-the-cheap!!:LOL::D

Hell no @DaveFan'51 ....you nominate @-X-, @jrry32 , and @Alan , and @LesBaker ,,,gotta have someone represent ROD the right way....oh, I almost forgot @Mojo Ram and @Memento

I'd say @Tron and @CodeMonkey but they might insult PK and his staff....

I still don't think they're charging the writers....rather the fee is so small, they worded the invite incorrectly....so, small fee is for us(the writer)....don't spend it all in one place fellas.....ahahahahaahahaha:D:p:sneaky:(y):);):party::nice::banana::snicker::shades::cheers:

What happened to the dislike button? :LOL:

But I'll nominate @jrry32 if he agrees to buy a vowel with some of his proceeds, @-X- if we can get him to set down his White Russian and get up of his carpet, and @LesBaker if we can talk him into pulling his pants back up and logging off his favorite porn site. Our best and brightest. (y)

I'm happy to give y'all my thoughts here. Don't have to reign it in or dumb it down.

Word of advice - when applying don't actually call King a hack. It might cause him to reject your essay out of hand.

I learned that at job interviews the hard way. "I'll work here even though working with you incompetents might make me look bad." "Thank you for your time, Mr. Akrasian"
