For Ryan Out Loud: Blog 1

FOR RYAN OUT LOUD!
Chapter 1: Jan. 7, 2009

So I just got back from a DigitalSports meeting and it’s been decided that we’re all writing weekly blogs.

I’m excited about it personally because I have tons of useless stuff to talk about and never an audience willing to listen.

I’m terrible at coming up with names for stuff (fantasy teams, my dog, my future children…) so one of my co-workers, The Great Dan Sousa, came up with “For Ryan Out Loud!”

It’s the perfect name because:
A)    It includes my name, a staple of any blog title
B)    I always enjoy a good rant
C)    It’s a play off the unfortunately accurate nickname my mean older brother gave me as a child — Cryin’ Ryan

So I’m sticking with it until I get tired of it a couple months from now.

What I plan on doing is talking about all the funny little things that happen when I go out to cover games or write features or whatever and use it as a forum to highlight small stories that don’t otherwise get published.

I’ll of course drone on about what it’s like being a reporter (which basically comes down to who has the best hot dogs at the concession stands) and any other mindless detail that pops into my day.

Lastly, I’ll talk about games I covered, what team looks good, what player is NAAASTY (my favorite description if you haven’t paid attention to my video captions) and so on. Of course, funny pictures and videos will come along as well.

So, anyway, I hope you all enjoy!
