I Am Now The Suns Beat Writer for ASFN

[George O'Brien]

Beginning March 1st, I was named the beat writer for ASFN and may even attend games as a reporter. I am probably no better qualified for this than many of the other regulars on this board, but there is little doubt that I write longer pieces.

Obviously I never lack for things to write about, but I am open to suggestions. I will continue to post on this forum, but my longer pieces will go the front page first. My first full articles is Are the Suns Interesting?

A great beginning George! I envy your press pass

 

[Billythekid]

So you're the enemy now?








YOU CAN DO IT!

When's the "We need anything resembling a tree that can block shots" article?

With lots and lots of branches.

Congratulations George. If you do get a press Pass you've got to see if you can get into the chat room during halftime and after the games like Chandler Mike used to do.

Congratulations George! Hey, I wasn't far off the mark last week when I mistook one of your posts for the work of a sportswriter.

Go get them George!

I can't wait to get someone from inside the Suns Org to post here like Jim O on the Cards board.

I hope this realy starts to get more traffic on this board.

Congrats-I wish only the best. I know that I do not write much stuff in this forum, but I certainly like to read everyones posts. Everyone here seems to have a very good basketball IQ, and knows how to express themselves very well (you included).

I agree. Other boards around the net might have more posters, but we seem to have the most consistently intelligent members on any Sun board on the Net. Not very many one word threads (like ESPN), and certainly very, very few trolls.

I need an icon for blushing. Of course, being me, I guess I'll use green.

Hey! Slow down Turbo! Doesn't mean we all agree with you!

 

[Dr. Dumas]

I usually post short replies due to not being able to express my thoughts very well. Regardless, I feel like I get more Suns knowledge on this site then anywhere else (TV, newspaper, etc.)

It's nice to have a site where I can sometimes talk some Suns talk. I know when I talk to my wife about the Suns (for the last 10 years), it's going in one ear and out the other-hee, hee.

 

[Dr. Dumas]

I see you mispelled Barbosa's name on the article. Maybe I should get a Suns pass as well, in order to make sure that your articles are proof read and ready to go.

Good article anyways-

 

[F-Dog]

Congrats, George. I won't worry about not having enough to read now!

Keep your eyes and ears open out there--you really will be an insider for those of us who can't get close enough to see what's happening behind the scenes.

I look forward to seeing what you turn up...

They have an edit function, so if you spot a typo please let me know so I can fix it. Besides, I don't want people worrying about why Bardoosa is not getting any minutes.

 

[Dr. Dumas]

I have no room to talk about typos. I probably mistype/misspell every other word. I was just giving you a hard time.

 

[tobiazz]

good luck man

Does this job mean all of your long, stoy like posts will dissapear from the forums?

They will be linked - you won't get rid of me that easily.

Nice coup, Irish George!

Now go get us some inside info!

 

[Chaplin]

Yeah, hopefully you can stick with it longer than Mike, Joe or I ever did!

 

[cly2tw]

Congratulation, George!

As a caring fellow poster, I will stick to my only unsolicited advice for ya. Stay away from excessive use of stats!
