Bobbyjim 45 expects the Pats to be in the Super Bowl, but he isn't setting up for the parade just yet. 1. How did you learn about AGM? I am truly one of the old timers at the 'Chair. It all started on a cold blustery winter night... the night of March 14 th, 2006. I was a simple 16 year-old kid trying to get some writing exposure on SportsColumn.com. Then, I received an email from a man by the name of Dan Lewis. This is what his email said: Hi Rob: I just noticed your article on SportsColumn.com. My friends and I started a site similar to SportsColumn last week -- but better. Users actually vote for the best stories. Stories are published on all relevant pages -- the front page, yes, but also the league's page, the team's page, and the player's page. Anyone can write. You can make your own blog. We have stats loaded for every NBA and MLB player, and a lot of NFL players, through last year. We are also building an encyclopedia.

Feel free to cross-publish your SportsColumn article with us. And write for us whenever you'd like! If you have any questions, let me know. I'm always around to help.
