Hello all,

As you know, we have writers covering the O's, Ravens, and Terps.

I'm interested in building up our 'And Life' portion of the site.  What I'm picturing is coverage of everything else we discuss here on the board.

Mostly what we have in our 'other' section, but if you have interest in covering the sports our writers are not currently covering... i.e. Soccer, the NBA, etc. let me know.

BSL Beer Analyst mweb?
BSL Travel Analyst NewMarketSean?
BSL Movie Analyst TheOrioleReport?
BSL Space / Grilling / DIY Analyst Mackus?

Wouldn't be asking for the same commitment of our O's / Ravens / Terps guys. Typically they are writing once a week. This could mostly be as you wanted, but something at-least monthly would be ideal.

There would be no pay here unfortunately.

 
You can post here, or email me at [email protected] .

Actually, I'm not interested...I'm IN.

 

I can have something to you shortly, actually.

Nice.  I'll reach out via email later today.

Ideally we get at-least 5 people to show interest here.   (If we are O's, Ravens, Terps, Travel... that looks a little odd....  if we are O's, Ravens, Terps, Beer, Grilling, Movies, TV, Travel, etc.  that makes sense.)

I wish we had a good candidate for the official BSL Hold Steady analyst.

Could you be interested in writing about tech?

I wouldn't mind trying my hand at it.  Feel free to send me topic ideas.

You should have Shack write political articles with a no comments section so he can tell us why everyone is wrong ;)


<p>I am pretty sure Shack is thinking of PBR.

Hmm. Maybe Formula 1 or Georgia Tech CFball (kidding).

I'd be interested in a Thrones recap weekly. Will only be a few for this season but that's fine. I'll try and think how to do book-spoilers vs. not.

 

If you delve further in to college hoops, I could also help with a Big East conference preview if you decide to do some sort of Conference Shootaround for all of the major conferences.

Food would probably open up BSL to a whole new audience. Recipes, Baltimore restaurant/bar reviews, Highlight new restaurant openings.

 

On my old blog when I was just starting out and no one read it, I once did a piece on a New York food tour my wife and I took when we went up there during the O's/Mets series. It was more of a hit than any sports article I did. I got a ton of feedback on the food stuff from people who found it that I didn't even know.

Pedro redoing his ballpark rankings would be good.

 

A series on 'Teach Me How To.... " would also be good.

When BSL initially started, I did some restaurant reviews.  That and the ideas you have here would be good.
