First off, congrats to dflack for winning the October writing contest!  His entry "Playoffs in 2008? A Look At The NBA's Eastern Conference narrowly beat out YankTank's entry.  For his efforts, dflack gets a $100 gift certicate to Amazon.com.

OK, now on to the November writing contest.  First prize is once again a $100 gift certificate to Amazon.  Second prize is a book by Phil Simms called "Sunday Morning Quarterback."  It's actually a good read even if it is Phil Simms.  

Remember, all stories published in the month of November are eligible for the monthly writing contest.  Please read the general rules here.  You can also find the current standings here.

OK folks, football season is in high gear, the baseball playoffs are underway, basketball and hockey are right around the corner -- it's time for another writing contest. The story queue has been purged of old stale articles so get in there and submit your best stuff. Remember, on this site, we like opinion pieces -- leave the game day previews to someone else.

First prize this month is a $100 gift certificate to Amazon. The second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Actually, there is no second prize or third prize so make sure you're the best.

Here are the current standings for the October writing contest. If you have any questions, email the editor@sportscolumn.com.

Finally, I'd like to announce that bsd987 has been added to the Featured Writers list for all his excellent stories throughout the years here at Sportscolumn. Congrats, bsd.
