We are happy to announce that Sportscolumn.com has been chosen Yahoo’s Pick of the Day. Sportscolumn has been around for years but the latest incarnation was only launched a month ago. Yet, we have had such excellent contributions from our community in that short span of time that the site was recognized by the Yahoo editors for the award.
I want to welcome all the new members we’ve had lately and encourage them to start contributing, whether it’s an article, voting on the articles in the moderation queue, or just adding your comments to existing columns. Your participation will make this a better site for everyone.A few notes:
– Not every article is worthy of publication. As moderators, your job is to make sure that the articles that do go through are interesting, well written, and timely. As a writer, please do not be offended if your article is not published. If you ask for feedback, most people are happy to provide it.
– If you just want to shoot the shit about sports without all the fancy stuff, you can also head over to the message boards at forums.sportscolumn.com. (Registration required)
-If you like the site, please spread the word. More members means more submissions and more submissions means that the quality of writing will go up.
Thanks to all the current members for their part of making Sportscolumn a Yahoo Pick of the Week.

SportsColumn.com
Sports fans are known for having strong opinions. Unfortunately, they’re also known for expressing those opinions to people who really don’t give a damn. So, to all you chatty sports nuts looking for an attentive audience, how about this for a solution? Instead of sharing your thoughts and theories with uninterested strangers, children, and lampposts, write ’em down and send ’em to the SportsColumn. Aiming to be a “revolution in sports journalism,” the site gives fans with a keyboard and Internet connection the chance to turn their ardor into articles. From the dried-up Lakers to Junior’s return to glory, what you write (and read) is up to you. It’s a great place for aspiring sports journalists to exercise their adverbs, and a great outlet for sports freaks to cry, moan, and rage.
