Fantasy Hockey Champion

I've been busy writing this month. I thought it would be a slower month. I was wrong. I have a bunch more articles on draft prospects and the draft. But I'm here to check in, to procrastinate on some writing assignments, and to brag about winning the fantasy hockey league I was in.


Yes, I am bummed that my first place fantasy football team choked in the first round of the playoffs. However, I am happy my hockey team won. Though I must confess I left the team alone. But it is fun to win...

NFL Draft Preview

 Besides basketball in March, I did write about football. The NFL Draft is coming up this Thursday so I thought it would be a great time to shamelessly plug the 12 players I did draft previews on associated content. I broke them down by position and the links are plugged in on the names.

On Defense I have:

Defensive Tackles:
Gerald McCoy 

McCoy will probably be drafted early on Thursday.


Defensive Ends:
Derrick Morgan
Jared Odrick
Jason Pierre-Paul

Morgan, Odrick. and Pierre-Paul will probably be pick on Thursday if any remain they will go early on Friday.


Safeties:
Eric Berry
Taylor Mays
Earl Thomas

Berry will probably be the first of the group to be picked. Mays and Thomas will probly be picked in the second half of the first round.

Cornerbacks:
Joe Hadden

Joe Hadden will probably be the first Gator picked and could be picked in the first 10 picks on thursday.

On Offense:

Offensive Tackles:
Trent Williams 

Trent Williams could be picked with the first 10 picks on Thursday.

Tight Ends:
Jermaine Gresham 

Gresham will probably be selected in the early part of the second round.

Wide Receiver:
Dez Bryant

Dez Bryant will probably be selected in the middle of the first round.

Running Backs:
Jahvid Best

Best will probably be selected in the second round. However, he could rise to be taken late in the second round.

Update

Been away a while. I was writing a bunch in March, to be honest probably too much. I have been trying to slow down a bit in April but I haven't had much success with that. I did go on vacation for a week. However, even while I was a way I had articles being published, I submitted another, and then I had an offer I couldn't refuse. A bigger upfront to write an article for a partner site.

Since, I have been writing so much for the main site I write for all of my other writing has taken a backseat. Which Includes this blog. Yes, I did write a bunch of sports articles in March, however I have published a bunch of non sport articles too. I still have a bunch to write on my plate and I know with the NFL draft coming up I will be busy again.

Well I am just passing through to give an update and say hi! Stay tuned for more...

A break in the Action

Things have slowed a bit. I am still busy. However, things have slowed at being published. Currently I have three articles waiting to be published. My goal is to write one more tonight before I go to bed. These three articles are non-sport articles which is great since I have done my share of sports articles this month with a few more left to work.

Today I volunteered at SHARE which brings my volunteer hours up past 30 hours not counting travel time. I wanted to reach that level before the end of March so I met a personal goal on volunteering.However, it being a SHARE day has made the day a very long and tiring day. Anyway, this was just a quick check in to the blog to say hello.

Update and Haiku

A quick hello! March has been quite crazy. As I have mentioned before I have lots of basketball articles out. Yes some football too which I will pimp in due time. I have had 27 articles published this month, I have two awaiting review. I have 10 articles I will need to write before the end of the month. That doesn't mean they will all be published this month. However, I have to feel pretty good that I will be able to reach my goal of 30 published articles this month.

This month has been far my busiest writing month. I have made the most money this month by writing. Not enough to quit my day job but enough to help with the family finances in a more substantial way. But, I have ran into a involuntary slow down. Burning candles at every end is taking a toll. Oh well..

However, I am at a point where I can write what I want. When, I started writing, I started with poetry. I published one a long time ago. Then I did a Holiday Haiku.  It was my first stab at Haiku. It is a somewhat simple form but I also find it has a challenge to it. I made my second stab at it with a Spring Haiku. It is nice to write poetry again even if they are short.

More Basketball...

I've been writing a bunch about college basketball. A lot of football but that will be another blog. Been writing so much I haven't been able to check into the blog as much.

Need info on the brackets you can read it here.

Who do I think was snubbed? The Big Dance Surprises? It can be read here.

A preview of the SEC Championship game which was published after the game. Really, I did write it before the game. You can read it here. Even a preview of the SEC Tournament is here. If your an ACC fan, I have your preview here.

Like I said I have been really busy with over 20 articles published this month. Work, Family, Play, volunteering, and writing.

Gearing up for March Madness

Well I have started writing about college basketball it must be March! I kicked things off with an article about the North Carolina tar Heels struggles. UNC finishes 16-16 after a loss to Georgia Tech. The Tar Heels may get a NIT bid based on name alone. They should be end of season bound.

Next up I did a preview of the CAA Conference tournament. I predicted the winner Old Dominion over William & Mary. The score was 60-53, I predicted 63-58. Pretty good predictions. To read about some other fine teams from a powerful mid-major conference read here.

Then I did previews of the SEC Tourney and ACC Tourney. If you like college basketball, I have more articles on their way soon.
