Exclamation Attention All NFL Fans - Yet Another Sports Outlaw Contest! - Top Blogger Wins $500!

Ok guys and gals,

Long ago, when I first added the blog feature here, there was some interest in it, with quite a few people saying they might actually maintain a blog. So far, not so much interest.

I am putting out a challenge to bring some life into the blog area of the site, and the winner will receive $500.00.

Here is how it works:
I am looking for NFL team blogs, which will be maintained from now until the end of the 2008 NFL season.
  • In my opinion, a good NFL blog shoudl be updated a couple times a week, definitely no less than once a week. That of course, is just my opinion. (if you are true fan, however, you should have no problem having something to write about regularly)
  • I'm not looking for someone that plans on simply doing 16 game recaps. We can all quickly go to nfl.com for that. I am looking for people who want to write about their team in a blog format.
Who can enter:
Everyone, except for Sportstramp and myself.

How will the winner be decided?
Not sure yet, but I wanted to get this out now so people can get started. I may make the decision on my own, I may select a group of people not participating, might add a member vote at the end of the season somehow, or a combination of several options.

Factors that will be considered in choosing a winner will be the amount of entries, quality of entries, comments, basically the overall quality of the blog.

Prizes:
Winner will get $500.00. If possible, I might pay out to 2nd and 3rd place as well, but I cannot guarantee that.

Is there a guaranteed winner?
No. I can' envision a situation where we won't have at least one person that puts forth the season long effort to win this, but if all the blog attempts flame out and the quality simply isn't there down the stretch, I reserve the right to not select a winner.

How do I do this?
It is simple once you get started and become familiar to the blog format. What you will need to do is create a category in your blog and give it a name that is related to your NFL team. The name of the blog doesn't have to have the team name in it, but it somehow needs to be related. All blog entries need to be entered into the category you create for this contest.

Also, if you are entering, post in this thread that you are doing so, and post a link to the category you create for this blog.
(this is important for me to know you are competing in this). If you have a current team blog, you can use that, however the content created from this point forward is all that will be factored into the contest.

All blogs must be maintained via the Sports Outlaw Blog area. No outside blogs will be accepted


What Else?
Nothing other than to get started immediately. If this is successful, I would like to do this every season

What a failed mission that was. Bigger bust than Carson Palmer this year.

This will be fun to do. I have no chance of winning but will be fun to write about the JETS every week and probably will increase my "fanhood".

You never know.

Everyone has an equal chance at this, especially considering I told absolutely nobody about it before posting this thread

Had no intention of doing a contest like this until it just popped into my head this evening.

Might even do a smaller one for college football, not sure......

You wouldn't be referring to my love of a certain female orifice would you?

That would be an award winning blog right there.

It would probably also bump me onto the FBIs most wanted list.

Like you don't already have a file.

Just round up to eighteen and roll like the player we know.
