If Joe can do that on his own, he'd be more credible. Often, local stations want you to buy advertising in order to get a spot on a feature.

Joe if you ever want to blow the lid on a story just write about how while most sports are banning competitors after using Drugs the IFBB congratulate and pay their athletes well the more they abuse Drugs and never Drug test any Pros.Now that will start a fire. ;D.But don't mention Chick and what he says about the Drug Rule and how it's only there to look good in the rule book.Or how Milos gets his athletes so loaded they end up so Sick they don't get to compete.Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Title: Re: LA Times

Joe you should get Bob Chick to do an article on Drug Abuse in Pro BB. ;D

Post by: The Coach on April 07, 2008, 04:46:29 PM
Guys, I'm not writing as a sports writer, I'm just doing articles on health and fitness for no pay just exposure only, my local paper the articles go in twice per month, I'm not sure about the Times yet, they just agreed to let me do articles. They are to be short, about 3-400 words and they have to be something that the readers will appeal to. Can't be about drug abuse in sports or BBing. I have to follow certain perameters.

Congratulations. Please tell me when you have an article in it, will post it and put it in the News section.  The Times is considered a liberal paper, left leaning,  but it is still the #1 paper in Los Angeles, and getting exposure in any magazine or newspaper is quite nice.
