I don't like how my voice sounds when I'm speaking into a microphone. Anytime I'm on the radio, my voice seems to be a tad high, and doesn't have enough force behind it when I'm trying to make a point. I had thought about that, for me to be comfortable in the product I'm presenting, I would have to learn to speak with a bit lower voice. I hate Cowherds voice, and it's similar to that.
UB, remember, this would be the first time that I would be putting pen to paper about sports. I don't expect to be very good at it towards the beginning. Thing is, I would love to be putting together a blog right now about the Aaron Hernandez story. People in an uproar about how awful the NFL is with player behavior. An NFL opening day roster is around 45 players. ( I would research before making my point) Comparing that to a basketball/baseball roster by just overall number isn't a fair evaluation.
Ideally, that would be a piece that I would put up after recapping the arraignment, with a little bit of narrative inside it. Anyone can get the story through any media outlet they want. I want people to come to see what I have to say because it stirs up emotion, one way or the other.
Edit: As crazy as it sounds, I've got a pretty decent in when it comes to the world of MMA as well. Sean McCorkle out of Indy would do an interview/focus piece with me anytime I would want it. He's good friends with Chris Wiedman who is fighting Anderson Silva for the middleweight title on July 7th. Those 2 guys were out partying with a few other fighters in Chicago the last time I was there, and were texting us to come join them. Only problem is the MMA fan base doesn't seem to branch out a ton in other areas.
It's all just ideas. I'm starting from scratch and really have no idea how to get from point A to point B. I just think being able to write about what I actually love would be entertaining and therapeutic.
