Griffin Gotta Typing.: August 2010

Monday, August 30, 2010

I wrote a preview on the Minnesota Vikings and why - for my sake - they shouldn't win a championship:

This spawned a response from a fellow writer on Midwest Sports Fans who took the attack on that shoddy organization a little personally and "challenged" me to write a "real" preview. Here was his take on my post:

While I felt he had some valid points, I think in general he missed the boat on his response in terms of what I was actually saying, so I responded here. http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2010/08/where-griffin-gotta-attempts-to-man-up-or-something/

I added the mini-preview at the end in the hopes of not having to write about the Vikings again until absolutely necessary. A fun little argument overall, though.

I started freelancing at Suite 101, where I can write about whatever, basically. My first article is about Peggy and Pete's baby drama. If you have any ideas as to what I should write about, feel free to let me know, I can use the creative help, believe me.

Sundays suck.
