Big news for the blog

I have been waiting for the right moment, but I would like to announce a big development in my blogging life. As my loyal readers know I enjoy spending a decent amount of time writing about my favorite NBA team the Utah Jazz. In addition to writing about them I like to follow them regardless of it is during the NBA season or not. One of the ways I have followed them is by checking out local blogs like Salt City Hoops. Recently they had an "open tryouts" to try and get new blog writers. I sent out an email asking to be a part of the team. The organizer sent me back a response saying that he would love for me to join. Therefore I would like to officially announce that I am taking my talents to the Salt City Hoops as a contributor to their blog.

One great thing about Salt City Hoops is that is affiliated with ESPN. If you go to espn.com, then click on the NBA, then on TrueHoop (the great blog run by Henry Abbott) then you will see Salt City Hoops as ESPN's Jazz blog. This is a great partnership because it will increase readership and get our opinion out through such a large sports media outlet. For example my post on Malone vs. Duncan has received 6 comments. As you probably know from following this blog that is a lot for me.

Anyway, my first post (which you can see unedited on this blog) is featured on ESPN's Monday Bullets and on Salt City Hoops. I am excited to be joining this team and hope to produce a few more pieces a year about the Jazz.

So will your "Rules of Friendship" post also land you a moonlighting gig on Oprah.com? No, seriously, congratulations! That's a great accomplishment.
