With the internet, the world is wide-open for writers. You have football experience and people are hungry for deeper writing that teaches them things about the game and their team that they don't know. If you get the writing itself tight and your voice is clear you can take yourself somewhere.
GBB could probably say more about this given his experience at BR.

I have been told that I am a bit of a robot when writing and speaking. My editor doesn't really edit, he just copies and pastes. However he is the one that is in charge of the published material, I just provide the write-up. I never went to college, so I admit I am not great at literature. Pretty much just self taught. (which is probably why I am a bit bland).
