The Boys of Fall
As the weather starts to get colder and the leaves start to form their beautiful brown, red, and yellow colors, it seems as if this can mean only one thing for the majority of Americans, FOOTBALL IS BACK!
That's right, the boys of fall are staged to make their entrance back onto the gridiron once again to shed blood, sweat, and perhaps even tears. As this wonderful time approaches it seems only fitting that my passion blog should refer to this glorious sport. However, football is an extremely large sport. By posting merely a single blog a week, I could never do justice for it. Therefore, for my passion blog I have most likely decided to concentrate on my hometown football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers! Each week I will be bringing the latest and greatest analysis of seemingly all aspects of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This will include everything from player of the week, to an in depth analysis of last week's performance, and even the players to watch for next week. This blog is going to be aimed at those die hard black and gold fans such as myself.
However, I have taken into account the fact that not everyone is a Steeler fan, even though they should be. This factor makes me consider a second slightly different alternative. This alternative would rather look at the NFL as a whole rather than just the Steelers. Basically, I could choose one stand out team on a weekly basis and write about their record, upcoming opponents, star players, etc. This would be rather similar to the Steelers blog, but instead create a broader scope. As of this moment I am clearly leaning towards my home town Steelers. This however comes with an extreme level of bias. If the appeal lies rather with the second option then I could possibly reconsider. Nevertheless, my mind as of now appears to be pretty set.
With all of this said, the only undeniable fact is that football is back. This truth is accompanied by only one question. Are you ready for some football?!
Hey there! I can't say I'm a huge football fan but the way you described your passion for the sport really drew me in. Personally, I think you should focus on the Steelers. you seem to be a die-hard fan and your enthusiasm alone will draw your readers in. But that's just my opinion, good luck!
ReplyDeleteHunter, I'd agree with the comment that AnnaMaria made. Even though I'm from Philly, your passion for the Steelers in undeniable, and turning your focus to the entire league would temper that enthusiasm, which would be a shame. While your effort to reduce bias is definitely appreciated by someone who'd root for a lot of other teams (cross state rival Eagles or cross division rival Ravens), stick with your true passion and support the Steelers.
ReplyDeleteThe passion is obvious in the blog. Although I don't follow football, I think that the blog would work out very well. I am going to say, however, a Steelers-biased blog on the NFL wouldn't come across well for some people who follow other teams. In general, it would seem unprofessional. Focus on the Steelers and you will probably be much happier.

ReplyDeleteNot sure why a duplicate comment showed up, so I deleted it.
DeleteI echo your classmates: you love the Steelers, you bleed black and gold, and you seem like you'd be most engaged if you could provide a more in-depth analysis of them instead of a broader discussion of the entire NFL.
ReplyDeleteThis being said, Go Steelers! I wish you the best as you pursue this approach!
