Before we look forward, a quick look back ...

As I hinted before I have something in the works that I should have finalized very soon, and let's just say that I'm extremely excited about the potential.

In the meantime, I've already posted my last free-lance story for Bleacher Report. For those who don't know B/R quickly offered me a position after my contract expired with BamaOnline on March 1, and I only have good things to say about the experience. Hopefully the people there feel the same way.

Here are results of some reader polls with my Bleacher Report stories ...
