The Next Great Sports Blogger Contest

I have created a new blog that is 100% focused on Boston sports, titled “Oh, Boston You’re My Home.” And yes, we do love the Standells here in Boston. The site will serve as a mini-portfolio to show off my knowledge and passion for Boston sports for a contest hosted by the biggest name in Boston sports media, WEEI.

WEEI is looking for the “Next Great Sports Blogger” in Boston. For those that aren’t familiar with the Boston sports scene, WEEI is the sports scene. WEEI-AM is the constant chatter in the background that can almost always be heard anywhere in or around Boston. Regardless of where you try to hide in the Boston area, you’ll almost always hear the voices of Glen Ordway, Michael Holley, Mike Adams, and the rest of the WEEI personalities blaring from someone’s radio.

In a town where everyone knows everything, WEEI provides a forum for sports fans to call in and spout off about who needs to be fired, who needs to be traded, and the most entertaining of all—who needs to be traded for (I can’t tell you how many trade scenarios I’ve heard for Albert Pujols over the past five years).

Just recently, WEEI expanded their sports radio enterprise onto the web with the brand new WEEI.com (Honestly, I can’t believe they didn’t do it sooner). By enlisting the talent they already had at the station, and picking up some great writers from other various media entities, WEEI has put together an impressive cast of contributors for their new Web site. Now they are seeking out part time writers from the amateur ranks to join the WEEI team as weekly blog contributors–that’s where the contest comes into play.

If this sparks your interest like it did mine, here are the details.

Otherwise, I again invite you to check out my BostonYoureMyHome.WordPress.com. It will be a work in progress between now and the contest deadline on September 30.
