I’ve Made a Huge Tiny Mistake

about

This blog was started with the intent in bringing a new viewpoint on Phillies baseball, Sixers basketball, and entertainment matters to the internet. Much of sports radio and television is filled with talking heads who character assasinate players and those in the sports world. I try to be somewhat insightful on matters close to Philadelphia and its sports teams.

The man behind the blog is me. Being a graduate of Saint Joseph’s University in West Philadelphia and a Pennsylvania resident for all of my life, I have yet to see a professional championship with my own eyes, but hope to before I am six feet under.

Favorite teams in sports: Phillies, 76ers, Saint Joseph’s Hawks, Eagles, Flyers

Favorite players in sports: Bobby Abreu, Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels, Allen Iverson, Andre Iguodala, Roger Federer

Favorite TV shows: Sopranos, Arrested Development, Battlestar Galactica, LOST, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Daily Show

    I saw that you replied on ivillage.com that their football blog was lame. I just started a women’s football blog, I am a diehard Philly sports fan (all 4 teams), but my blog is for all women not just philly fans. Curious what u think.

    Hi! My name is Erin Chaves and I am contacting you to find out what advertising/sponsorship opportunities may exist on your blog. I am in the process of promoting the services of a prominent hair restoration doctor in Philadelphia. He has an excellent reputation and has performed more than 6,000 hair transplants.
    I am reaching out to prominent local bloggers in order to promote and receive feedback on the client’s website. I am interested in the following opportunities, and am open to hearing your suggestions for other arrangements:
    Review of the site and offerings, with a link, for a one-time fee (250 words or greater).
    · Sponsoring a few of your posts (we pay a one-time fee for you to mention, with a link, in a few posts that the doctor sponsored them).
    · Mini-banner or sidebar links paid 6 months up-front.
    Please let me know your thoughts on how this could work for you. If you have pricing in mind already, definitely let me know. I am eager to have a chance to catch the interest of your audience and support a great blog.
    Please contact me at erin.chaves[@]gmail.com. Thanks!

    Hey,

    I like your blog a lot. I was wondering if you might want to link to my site in your pop culture section. The site is http://trashwire.com. While we don’t write that much about sports, we do make fun of pop culture all the time. I just thought you might be interested.

    Dear News.com,

    i’m writing to tell you about a campaign I’ve started against the Philadelphia Duck Boats! I thought you might be interested in it.

    As you know, the Philadelphia duck boats blast loud and obnoxious music and have a tour guide shout over a PA system and they persistently quack at native Philadelphians. I’ve begun a campaign against the duck boats called ‘Shut the Duck UP!”. I regularly protest in the city which I write about in my blog found at http://www.shuttheduckup.blogspot.com. We’ve started a quickly growing online petition and we plan a big protest in November. We’ve already been featured in several notable blogs such as Slog, Philadelphia WillDo, and Phillyist. Check out the blog and see how newsworthy this movement really is! Thank you and keep up the good work.

    Sincerely,
    Walt Sherman

    Sorry, didn’t mean to say News.com! I mean I’ve made a huge tiny mistake. Sending a lot of e-mails makes me tired!

    Chris,

    I love what you’re doing. I’m from West Chester and just started a basketball web site that I would love to check out (and possibly link to) called NaismithLives.com. We’re gonna have some Sixers-related stuff up this week so please give us a look.

    Continued success with your blog…

    Thank you.

    Dear Chris,

    I know that I’ve been in contact before about the Shut the Duck UP! campaign and I just wanted to direct your attention to the Shut the Duck UP! Campaign Documentary Video that was recently made by a couple of Drexel Students! I thought you might want to post it to your site! Let me know what you think!
